JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE TRIAL
1 to October 3, 2022, or a date convenient to the Court. The Parties respectfully request that the
2 || Court grant this continuance.
3 This Stipulation is based upon the following facts and circumstances, which the Parties
4 believe constitute good cause:
5
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the Parties' handling of the case. The court
closures and other issues related to the pandemic, however, have caused significant
problems with counsels’ schedules, making the preparation for a trial in November
2021 essentially impossible. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
10 Court’s calendar, the availability of parties, witnesses, and counsel for the parties
11 in November 2021 is uncertain.
12 The Parties have engaged in diligent discovery, but have been unable to complete
13 discovery, including taking depositions.
14 The Parties have met and conferred about discovery, informal settlement, and
15 possible mediation, once Plaintiff's medical records have been received.
16 Defendants Arrowood and Fisher’s discovery has been delayed in that the Covid-
19 pandemic has severely impacted Defendants ability to procure Plaintiffs
17
18 medical records from the seventeen healthcare providers, identified to date. Most
19 providers are currently running two to three months behind on responding to
20 subpoenas due to the pandemic.
21 Defendants Arrowood and Fisher have not been able to take Plaintiff's deposition
22 and will not be able to do so until all medical records have been received.
23 Counsel for Plaintiff MDLF and Defendants Arrowood and Fisher have met and
24 conferred and agree that the case can best be handled efficiently and effectively if
25 the Court were to continue the trial to October 3, 2022. That date will work best
26 with the impacted schedules of trial counsel for the parties.
27 Trial previously has been continued in this matter due to the issues that impacted
28 the Court because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
