Jury Demand

O R D E R
A settlement conference was scheduled in this matter for
August 13, 2013. Unfortunately, Mr. Cantrell suffered an accident
on the 12th, which severed an Archilles tendon. This will require
surgery and a recovery period. Plaintiff’s counsel believes that
this may change his damage claim under the Family Medical Leave Act
(FMLA) and he will need to see how the Plaintiff does during this
recovery period in order to value his damages because of this
accident.
The parties are directed to notify the Magistrate Judge
within 60 days when they believe that a settlement conference can
be rescheduled. Upon receiving a request the Magistrate Judge will
reschedule the settlement conference.
To the extent the parties need an extension to the
present scheduling order or to the trial date, that should be taken
up with Magistrate Judge Griffin.
It is so ORDERED.
