In a telephone conference with the Court on February 10,
1998, petitioner informally requested the place of trial be
changed to Seattle, Washington. The Court granted petitioner's
request, struck the case from the March 16, 1998, Hartford trial
session, and scheduled the case for trial on May 4, 1998, in
Seattle.
By letter dated March 23, 1998, counsel for respondent
requested documents and a meeting with petitioner, explained the
necessity for a stipulation of facts, and again enclosed a
proposed stipulation of facts. In addition, this letter
explained the Court's requirement that documents which the
parties intended to rely upon at trial be timely exchanged.
Petitioner did not execute the proposed stipulation of facts and
did not provide any of the requested documents.
On April 28, 1998, the Court held a conference call with the
parties. During that call, petitioner agreed that if he were
unable to or failed to provide documents to respondent with
respect to the issues in the case, petitioner would concede the
issue or item for which no documentation was presented. The
Court directed petitioner to provide the Court and respondent
with a written outline of a plan to make petitioner's documents,
which were located in Connecticut, available to respondent within
90 days. The plan was to be presented to the Court and
respondent at calendar call on May 4, 1998.
