PLAN,
Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on the parties’ joint motion to extend the meet and confer
deadline and motion for attorney fee deadline, Filing No. 80. On September 26, 2016 the Court
ordered the parties to meet and confer with respect to the calculation of plaintiff’s disability
benefits due under the policy and to report the court within 21 days of the date of the order,
Filing No. 76. The parties have requested two extensions which the Court granted, Filing No. 78
and Filing No. 79. The current motion is the third request for an extension, citing identical
reasons “to complete the review of the voluminous amount of plaintiff’s medical records which is
necessary to calculate benefits owed under the Order.” See Filing No. 80. The Court has
reviewed the record and will grant the motion in part.
IT IS ORDERED that
1.

The parties’ joint motion to extend is granted in part in that the deadline to meet

and confer and file a motion for attorney fees is extended to January 13, 2017.
2.

A hearing is set for January 17, 2017 at 1:30pm in the event the parties are

unable to resolve the issues.
