erm Disability Benefits Plan ("Plans" herein), and plaintiff Lena Monzon Ramos, by and through their respective attorneys of record, hereby agree and stipulate as follows: 1. Because of the number of discovery requests at issue, and the length of the

requests and responses, compliance with Civ. L.R. 37-2 requires approximately seventeen (17) pages of Plaintiff's opening brief to be dedicated to setting forth the discovery at issue. The parties stipulate, therefore, that it is not practicable to adhere to the 25-page limit prescribed by the Civ. L.R. 7-2(b) and 7-4(b), while also adhering to Civ. L.R. 37-2. 2. Subject to the approval of the Court, the undersigned stipulate that the 25-page

limitations prescribed by Civ. L.R. 7-2(b) and 7-4(b) shall be enlarged to 37 pages for Plaintiff's opening brief, and for any brief filed in opposition to it. IT IS SO STIPULATED. DATED: May 4, 2009 SEDGWICK, DETERT, MORAN & ARNOLD LLP
