The parties, by and through their respective attorneys of record, state as follows:
1.

Counsel for Plaintiff Carmen Cruz (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants AT&T Umbrella

Benefit Plan No. 1 and Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc. (“Defendants”), on behalf of
Defendants AT&T West Disability Benefits Program, AT&T Integrated Disability Service
Center, and Sedgwick CMS, have stipulated to an extension of time up to and including June 1,
2012 for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint.
2.

Defendants have good cause to request this extension because additional time is

necessary to obtain the administrative files regarding Plaintiff’s short-term disability benefit
claims so that Defendant may appropriately respond to the Complaint.
