Good cause exists for the continuance as MetLife's client representative, and

person with the most knowledge of the facts and legal arguments, has a previously

unknown conflict that will prevent him to travel from New York to the Settlement

He will be available to participate in person on

10

The parties checked with Judge Cousin's clerk, Lili Harrell, who confirmed

11

that August 7, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. was an available time for the rescheduled

12

conference and the parties advised Ms. Harrell that August 7, 2015 was acceptable

13

date. The only available date with Judge Cousin's calendar in July was July 21,

14

2015, which presented a conflict with MetLife's counsel.
