IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between plaintiff Louis Wilkins and defendant

2

Unum Life Insurance Company of America, through their attorneys of record, that the briefing

3

schedule and hearing on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment in this action should

4

be continued briefly for good cause as follows:

5

Plaintiff filed his opening motion for summary judgment on November 16, 2012.

6

Defendant’s opposition and cross-motion was scheduled to be filed on December 7, 2012.

7

Unfortunately, just prior to defendant’s filing date, Francis Torrence, lead counsel for defendant,

8

had an unexpected and serious family medical emergency. Therefore, defendant requires

9

additional time to prepare and file its opposition and cross-motion.

10
11

As a result, the parties propose the briefing and hearing schedule be continued to the
following dates, or the nearest convenient dates for the Court:

12

1.

Defendant’s opposition and cross-motion due December 17, 2012;

13

2.

Plaintiff’s reply and opposition to defendant’s cross-motion due January 3, 2012;

14

3.

Defendant’s reply in support of its cross-motion due January 11, 2013; and

15

4.

Hearing on cross-motions for summary judgment on February 1, 2013 at 9:00

16

a.m., or such other date as the Court finds convenient.
