At the outset of this case, the Court set a number of discovery and pretrial

On January 10, 2019, this Court stayed discovery in this action to let Ms. Stewart

Unfortunately, Ms. Stewart continues to suffer from significant health problems.

Accordingly, the parties believe that good cause exists to continue the settlement conference

currently scheduled for February 12, 2019 to a date that she will be able to more fully participate

15

in the conference.

The parties understand that the Court is available April 24, 2019 for a settlement

17

conference. Unfortunately, counsel for Hartford is not available. The parties are otherwise

available on the following dates: April 23, May 1 and 2, 2019. The parties can also provide the
