Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) provides the following updated case

21

management conference statement, with regard to the currently scheduled further case

22

management conference. As the parties informed the Court they would do (at the case

23

management conference held on July 31, 2012 and in their supplemental case management

24

conference statement filed on August 29, 2012 (ECF No. 15)), the parties have been engaged

25

in discussions regarding possible ways to resolve the issues so that the life insurance benefits

26

can be paid out.

27
28
SF/3183887v1

An agreement has been reached between MetLife and Ms. Robinson-Lee, but the
parties require additional time in which to finalize matters. Communications with Ms.

1

Robinson-Lee have been slow and difficult, due to lack of electronic communication

2

capability. MetLife also has been in contact, however, with an attorney who reportedly is

3

preparing guardianship papers so that Ms. Robinson-Lee’s children (the two minor defendants

4

in the litigation) can receive the life insurance benefits.

5

MetLife believes that the matter will be concluded, from standpoint of the litigation,

6

within the next 30 days. MetLife therefore requests that the Court continue the pending case

7

management conference for an additional 30 days, to permit the ancillary procedures, such as

8

establishment of a guardianship for the minor defendants, to be completed, thereby allowing

9

the litigation to be dismissed.

I am readily familiar with the firm's practice of collection and processing correspondence
for mailing. Under that practice it would be deposited with the U.S. Postal Service on that same
15 day with postage thereon fully prepaid in the ordinary course of business. I am aware that on
motion of the party served, service is presumed invalid if postal cancellation date or postage
16 meter date is more than one day after date of deposit for mailing in affidavit.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the above
is true and correct. Executed on October 26, 2012, at San Francisco, California.
