CURTS SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO
are
Robert Taub, et al. CASE NO. 2006-04-2563
Plaintiff,
JUDGE BURNHAM UNRUH
vs.
Alex Tzavaras, et al. JOINT MOTION FOR
CONTINUANCE OF TRIAL
Defendants.
Now come the Plaintiffs, Robert and Pamela Taub, and Defendant, Alex Tzavaras, dba
Alexander Construction Company, by and through their respective counsel, and jointly move this
Court for an Order continuing the trial currently scheduled for December 20, 2006. The trial date
is unrealistic due to the significant amount of discovery that remains to be completed. Counsel
have been working on the case and the depositions of the Plaintiffs have been completed. In
addition, the deposition of the Defendant, Alexander Tzavaras, is scheduled for December 12,
2006. In Plaintiffs’ responses to Defendant's discovery, the Plaintiffs identified over twenty trial
witnesses. Clearly, there is not enough time to complete the depositions of all of these witnesses.
In addition, Defendant anticipates calling approximately ten to twelve witnesses at the time of
trial, and again, there is not enough time to complete this discovery.
Further, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Summary Judgment regarding the validity of the
mechanic’s liens in this matter. This Court’s ruling on this Motion should resolve some of the
issues in this case. The parties now believe that a Mediation Conference may be beneficial in
attempting to resolve the remaining issues in this case. As such, the parties would request a
referral of this case to the Court’s Mediation Department. A Final Pretrial is currently scheduledCOPY
for December 6, 2006 and counsel would like to use this date as an interim Status Conference to
set a new case management schedule and obtain a referral to the Court’s Mediation Program.
Respectfully submitted,
