The defendant requested an adjournment of a fixed trial date at a case conference, citing outstanding production issues including pre-accident medical notes and employment records.
The plaintiffs opposed the adjournment.
The court dismissed the request, noting that discoveries occurred over a year prior and the defendant had ample time to bring production motions.
The court maintained the fixed trial date, emphasizing that such dates are only adjourned in extenuating circumstances, which were not present.
