ATMOS ENERGY CORPORATION and
BOBCAT CONTRACTING, LLC
JOINT MOTION TO RESET TRIAL DATE AND SET DISCOVERY HEARING
The parties in the above-styled cause have been proceeding with discovery and are working
together to schedule fact depositions continuing into December, 2022. Trials are currently set for
September 12, 2022 and September 19, 2022. The parties agree that the trial date should be reset.
However, the parties disagree about when certain pre-trial deadlines should fall given the pendency
of an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board and the implications of that
investigation on the schedule. The parties thus move to reset the trial date and request a scheduling
conference concerning the pre-trial deadlines.
JOINT MOTION TO RESET TRIAL DATE AND SET DISCOVERY HEARING
The parties propose the following deadlines in advance of the hearing to propose a schedule
and brief the Court concerning the issues impacting the schedule:
Seven days before hearing: Plaintiffs file with the Court Plaintiffs’ proposed schedule(s)
and submit any briefing in support;
Four days before hearing: Defendants file with the Court Defendants’ proposed
schedule(s) and submit any briefing in support.
PRAYER
The parties respectfully request that the Court grant this motion and enter the proposed
Agreed Order Resetting Trial and Notice ofHearing.
DATED: July 22, 2022 Respectfully submitted,
