LINA is in the process of adjudicating plaintiffs claims for benefits. Therefore, LINA has
asserted that Plaintiff's lawsuit is not ripe. On the other hand, Plaintiff contends that the lawsuit is
indeed ripe.
Nonetheless, at this time, the Parties have stipulated to a 90 day continuance of the
proceedings to give LINA time to conclude its review of the claims, and if necessary, conduct an
appeal of the decision. The Parties believe a stay of proceedings will preserve both litigation and
judicial resources. Therefore, the Parties respectfully request that this Court issue an order staying
the proceedings for 90 days from the date of said order.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:

DATED this 7th day of November, 2011.
