CLAIR POMEROY, M.D., STUART H. COHEN, M.D., ALLAN D. SIEFKIN, M.D., AND DR. JAN PAUL MUIZELAAR, Defendants. / CASE NO. 2:08-CV-00657-FCD-KJM STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CHANGE DATE OF STATUS CONFERENCE Complaint filed: March 26, 2008 Honorable Frank C. Damrell, Jr. The parties to this action, by and through their counsel of record, stipulate to the following and respectfully ask that the Court grant the relief sought. The Court recently issued an order requiring the parties to submit a joint status conference statement no later than May 14, 2010. Plaintiff's counsel, Mr. Heller, has filed a motion to withdraw from representation of Dr. CHANG. The hearing on the motion is set for June 18, 1 2010. As is clear from the declaration submitted by Mr. Heller in support of the motion, the relationship between him and his client is very strained. It will be challenging for counsel for Dr. CHANG and counsel for the Defendants to put together a meaningful joint status report before they know whether Dr. CHANG will object to the motion to withdraw, or whether he will agree and bring in new counsel, or represent himself in pro se. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the due date for filing a joint status report be extended until three weeks after the Court issues a ruling on the motion to withdraw as counsel. IT IS SO STIPULATED. Dated: May 4, 2010 PORTER SCOTT A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION /s/ Nancy J. Sheehan___________________ NANCY J. SHEEHAN Attorneys for Defendants DR. ALLAN D. SIEFKIN AND DR.
