STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR FURTHER CASE HANDLING

This is a joint status statement submitted by plaintiffs and defendant Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company (“MetLife”).
The parties had contemplated going to mediation in this case, but realized that certain

4

records needed to be obtained from a third-party insurance agent before the parties could assess

5

whether the case was suitable for mediation. MetLife sought to obtain that third-party

6

information but there were delays in the process. However, MetLife now believes that it will be

7

able to obtain and produce the records to plaintiffs within the next week or two.

8

The parties continue to cooperate with respect to the handling of the case. The parties

9

plan to review the records and then meet and confer as to what the next steps in the case should

10

be in order to move it toward resolution. The parties propose that that they be directed to submit

11

a further joint status statement within approximately 60 days, by January 27, 2014.

12

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between Plaintiffs and

13

Defendant Metropolitan Life Insurance Company by and through their respective attorneys of

14

record, that the parties be given until January 27, 2014, to submit a further joint status report on

15

the handling of the case.

16

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
