WILLIAM STITH,
Plaintiff,
v.
AETNA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
Defendant.

ORDER ON MOTION TO CLARIFY PLAINTIFF’S RIGHT TO CONDUCT DISCOVERY

Upon consideration of the papers filed supporting and opposing the plaintiff’s Motion to
Clarify Plaintiff’s Right to discovery [Doc. 25] and upon the Court’s view that the proposed
discovery is excessive, burdensome and not necessary but that some discovery should be
permitted with respect to the medical views upon which the defendant relied and that such
discovery should include the qualifications, background, and relationship between the reviewers
and Aetna, it is
ORDERED that a hearing will be scheduled to determine the scope of the limited
discovery to be permitted in this ERISA action.
