MOTION FOR PERMISSION To FILE A MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
The defendant respectfully requests permission to file a Motion for Summary Judgment.
This Court originally ordered all dispositive motions to be filed by June 28, 2003. As the I
case went on, the date for filing of dispositive motions was advanced to accommodate the
changing discovery dates. The final date for tiling dispositive motions was set for September 30,
2004. On July 6, 2004, defendant’s counsel (AAG Thomas Fiorentino) was transferred to a
different unit in the Attorney General’s Office and a new attorney for the defendant (AAG MJ.
McCarthy) filed an appearance in this matter. While both parties continued to complete I
interrogatories and depositions, defendant’s new counsel, due to the press of business, adjusting I
to a new caseload, missed the deadline for filing a Motion for Summary Judgment. ,
In the spring of 2005, a date was set for a settlement conference, which was to be held on
l
June 22, 2005. The defendant’s ex-parte statement was timely submitted to the court. However,
due to a family emergency for plaintiff s counsel, the settlement conference was marked off and
has just been re—scheduled for February 9, 2006. (See attached) Although the time has past for
filing dispositive motions, defenda;nt’s counsel now requests permission to file a Motion for
Summary Judgment at this point. The defendant believes that a Summary Judgment would be in

the interest of judicial economy. Further, since a trial date has not been set and a settlement
conference will not be held until February 2006, filing of a summary judgment motion will not `
delay the case.

WHEREFORE, the defendant respectfully requests that the Court allow the defendant to i
iile a Motion for Summary Judgment within thirty days ofthe granting of this motion.
