Case No.: 2:09-cv-02511-FCD-JFM STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE FINAL DISPOSITIONAL DOCUMENTS UNTIL OCTOBER 10, 2010

On May 17, 2010, the parties filed a Notice of Settlement conditioned on the Court's approval of a Petition for Minors' Compromise. Following settlement, Plaintiffs discovered the existence of a Medi-Cal lien for each minor. Since then, Plaintiffs have been attempting to obtain information on these liens in order to get them negotiated prior to filing the Petition for Minors' Compromise. The lien process with Medi-Cal is extremely slow and due to the delays caused by this process, Plaintiffs have been unable to obtain a final lien amount from Medi-Cal.

Therefore, Plaintiffs hereby request a further -1Stipulation and Order to Extend Time to File Final Dispositional Documents
