February 5, 2018. Dkt. #10. Heenan was not served until July 7, 2017—the day after the trial
date was set. Heenan’s counsel have since appeared. Dkt. #11, #12, #14.
Heenan’s counsel have discussed a new trial date with counsel for Hudson and for
Plaintiff. The Parties all consent to a new trial date. A new case schedule would provide Heenan
with time to comply with pretrial deadlines, including expert disclosure under Fed. R. Civ. P.
26(a)(2), which is currently due on August 9, 2017.
Accordingly, the Parties respectfully request that this Court continue the trial date until
May 2018, and modify the pretrial dates accordingly.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED THIS 31st day of July, 2017.
