Defendant JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
IN RE: PRETRIAL CONFERENCE
A pretrial conference was held on Wednesday, October
28, 2009, before the Honorable Edward E. Guido, Judge. Present for
the Plaintiff was David Lutz, Esquire, and present for the
Defendant was Jefferson Shipman, Esquire.
This is a slip and fall case in which liability and
damages are hotly contested. The parties estimate that it will
take two days to try. Defense counsel has two other cases on the
list. Plaintiff is from North Carolina. Both parties would
request that this be defense counsel's first case.
There are no complicated evidentiary or legal issues.
The parties have raised the relevance of the Plaintiff's
immigration status. While we feel that it is probably irrelevant,
we will allow the trial judge
that determination.
