JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLIN ES
Defendant Bankers Life & Casualty Company ("Bankers"), through undersigned counsel,
hereby moves jointly with Plaintiff for an order extending the standing Scheduling Order
deadlines sixty (60) days to allow for the resolution of the numerous pending motions.
On September 9, 2004 the Court issued its Second Amended Scheduling Order requiring:
(1) the Joint Trial Memorandum be filed by November 8, 2004; and (2) a trial readiness date of
December 8, 2004. The COLI1'(’S Second Amended Scheduling Order was prompted by the
parties’ joint motion to extend deadlines following the pa1ties’ cross motions for summary
judgment filed in August, and the unavailability of Plaintiff for deposition until late October.
Since that time, the parties have filed the following motions/papers;

The above motions, as well as the parties’ cross motions for summary judgment, are all sub
judice.
Plaintiff s motion to strike, Plaintiffs sur—reply, and Dcfendant’s motion to reopen
discovery all derive from (a) the partics’ disagreement regarding whether and to what extent
expert testimony/discovery is needed regarding the cause and effect of the alcohol contained in
Plaintiff s decedent’s blood at the time of his death, and (b) Defendant’s request to depose two
people, identihed for the first time in Plaintiffs Opposition to Bankers’ Motion for Summary
Judgment, who purport to have knowledge regarding facts relevant to this case — i.e. Decedent's
alleged actions in the hours before his death.

Until all ofthe pending motions are resolved and/or discovery completed, the precise
scope ofthe issues to be tried will be unknown, thus preventing the creation of the joint trial
memorandum in November and readiness for trial in December.
Accordingly, the parties respectfully request the Court to issue a Third Amended
Scheduling Order requiring: (l) the Joint Trial Memorandum tiled by January 10, 2004; and (2)
Trial Ready Date ol`February 8, 2004. This is the pai1ies’ fourth joint motion to extend
deadlines.
