MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
AND REQ QUEST FOR SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE
Counsel for the parties have conferred and believe that the chance for a settlement in this
matter is greater if discovery and motion practice can be stayed pending a settlement conference
with a Magistrate Judge. Thus, Defendants hereby request the scheduling of a settlement
l
conference before a Magistrate Judge at the earliest possible convenience. (
l In the interim, Defendants, by and through their undersigned counsel, request pursuant to
i
Local Rule 7(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Judge Squatrito’s September 17, J
2003 Order, an enlargement of time of thirty (30) days after the date of a settlement conference
to complete the depositions of Plaintiffs treating physicians and an enlargement of time of thirty
(30) days after the completion of the depositions to serve dispositive motions. In support of this
motion Defendant’s represent that Plaintiff’ s physician, Dr. Z.A. Adefuin, is presently out of the
country and will not be back in the United States until the second week of February 2004. Thus,
