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.
