METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendants. 22 23 24 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between Plaintiffs and 25 Defendant Metropolitan Life Insurance Company by and through their respective attorneys of 26 record, as follows: 27 28 SF/2580223v1 1 STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO FURTHER CONTINUE MEDIATION COMPLETION DEADLINE 1 Mediation had been scheduled to take place on October 4, 2012 before JAMS Mediator 2 Judge Ellen Sickle James (Ret.). However, attorney-scheduling issues arose after the mediation 3 was set and the mediation was taken off calendar. Since then, the court has thrice extended the 4 mediation-completion deadline as a result of the parties’ conclusion that further investigation 5 was needed before the case would be ripe for mediation. Most recently, the court extended to 6 May 10, 2013 the deadline for the parties to report on mediation. The parties have not yet completed mediation. The parties continue to cooperate in the 7 8 factual investigation. They have conferred and concluded that additional time is needed for 9 investigation and document production before proceeding with mediation. Accordingly, the 10 parties agree that it would be best to further postpone the mediation-completion and –reporting 11 dates. 12 At this time the parties seek an order that: (1) they be given approximately 90 days from 13 May 10, 2013, or until August 7, 2013, to complete mediation; (2) they be excused from filing an 14 updated joint status report by May 10, 2013; and (3) they be given until August 14, 2013 to 15 submit an updated joint status report concerning the outcome of the rescheduled mediation. 16 IT IS SO STIPULATED. 17 18 DATED: May 9, 2013 HELLER & HIBBERT 19 By: /s/ Steven M.
