JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER
EXTENDING TIME FOR DEFENDANT
TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC. TO
RESPOND TO COMPLAINT
(FIRST REQUEST)

25

COME NOW, Plaintiff Terry Coryell (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Trinity Industries Inc.

27

Defendant an additional sixty (60) days to respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint.

_________________________________________________________________________________
- 1 JOINT SITPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR DEFENDANT
TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC. TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

1

Plaintiff commenced this action with the Complaint filed April 2, 2018. Plaintiff served

2

Defendant with the Complaint on April 18, 2018. Defendant’s response is currently due on May 9,

3

2018.

4

In the interim, on April 26, 2018, Defendant served Plaintiff with correspondence which

5
6

Defendant contends demonstrates that Defendant is not a proper party to this action. Specifically,

7

Defendant contends this correspondence attached documentation demonstrates that it did not (1)

8

manufacture, (2) place into the stream of commerce, or (3) assume any liabilities related to the design,

9

manufacture, or marketing of the subject grinder. Under applicable law, the facts outlined in this

10

correspondence—if true—preclude any liability on the part of Defendant as a matter of law.

11
12

So as to (1) allow Plaintiff a meaningful opportunity to investigate the accuracy of the

13

documentation provided by Defendant, and (2) correspondingly allow the Defendant in the interim to

14

forgo further litigation expenses, including those associated with engagement of local counsel, the

15

parties stipulate and jointly request that the Defendant’s response to the Complaint will—subject to

16

the Court’s approval—now be due on July 8, 2018.
