ORDER 
BEFORE THE COURT is the Parties’ Joint Motion to Vacate Pending Trial Date, 
currently scheduled for October 18, 2021. (ECF No. 72.) The parties represent that the 
summary judgment filings were due on September 27, 2021 and that the motion would not 
be ready for the Court’s consideration until that date, “at the earliest, assuming no motion 
for sur-reply is filed by Beatty.” Id. at 1. In addition, the parties argue that Plaintiff and all of 
Defendant’s witnesses and counsel live off-island will need to arrange in advance for travel 
to the Virgin Islands for the trial. Furthermore, the parties “request that the Court consider 
health and safety factors” such as are addressed in the Court’s Twenty-Sixth Order 
Concerning Operations during the Covid-19 Outbreak when ruling on the motion. The 
motion requests that the date be vacated, which the Court construes as a motion to continue 
trial date.  
After careful consideration and review and in order to ensure a speedy and prompt 
disposition of this matter, it is hereby   
ORDERED that the Parties’ Joint Motion to Vacate Pending Trial Date, ECF No. 72, is 
GRANTED; it is further 
ORDERED that the trial in this matter currently scheduled for October 18, 2021, is 
CONTINUED to February 7, 2022. 
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall adhere to the following schedule: 
1. The deadline to complete factual and expert discovery has expired. 
2. The deadline to file dispositive and Daubert motions has expired.
