Before the Court is the stipulation of the Plaintiff and Defendants Blue Cross of

19 California dba Anthem Blue Cross and Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance
20 Company to extend the time within which these Defendants would have to respond to
21 the first amended complaint. (Doc. 39) These parties report that they are engaged in
22 settlement discussions and believe that a two-week extension of the time in which the
23 responsive pleading is due, will be sufficient time to determine whether settlement can
24 be achieved. Id. at 2.
25

Therefore, good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS the stipulation.

26 Defendants Blue Cross of California dba Anthem Blue Cross and Anthem Blue Cross
27 Life and Health Insurance Company SHALL file their responsive pleading no later
