CONSENT MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL
AND MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT
COMES NOW counsel for Plaintiff, with consent by counsel for Defendant,
pursuant to SCR General Court Rule 101, and hereby moves the Court to continue the
trial scheduled on June 1, 2005, for the following specific and sufficient reasons:
Plaintiff’s chief trial counsel and almost all of his litigation support staff are
gravely ill due to an unidentified contagious virus and have just been admitted to
Angel Hospital in Washington, D.C. It appears that it is necessary to continue the
trial scheduled for June 1, 2005, since Plaintiff’s chief trial counsel and his trial team
are currently being quarantined and monitored for possible infection with SARS, and
it is currently unknown when they will be released and cleared for work. Due to
this unforeseen situation, both parties by and through counsel have agreed to have
this matter continued to a future date. Counsel for Plaintiff and Defendant have
selected the following three alternative dates for trial, July 1, 2005, August 1, 2005,
or September 1, 2005.
WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that this Court grant this Consent
Motion to Continue the Trial.
Respectfully submitted,
