CASE NO. 2:16-cv-02223-JAD-PAL
JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER TO
EXTEND DEADLINES
(FIRST REQUEST)
Defendants Cox Enterprises, Inc. and Aetna Life Insurance Company and Plaintiff Todd
Tolbert stipulate and agree as follows:
1. The Court approved the parties’ Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order setting forth
ERISA deadlines in its Order dated December 28, 2016 (Doc. 14).
2. The Order required, inter alia, the Defendants to file a joint Administrative Record
(“AR”) with the Court and/or Plaintiff to file any motions related to the contents of the
AR, by Thursday, March 16, 2017 (see Section III. B., Doc. 14).
3. The parties have exchanged correspondence regarding the proposed contents of the AR
and have been conducting concurrent settlement discussions regarding this matter.
However, the parties have identified potential issues regarding the filing of the AR that

Case 2:16-cv-02223-JAD-PAL Document 15 Filed 03/16/17 Page 2 of 2

would necessitate a short extension of time to properly resolve. Specifically, given the
2
sheer volume of the Administrative Record (comprising of over 1,500 pages) and the fact
3
that Plaintiff’s private medical information is integral to the issues in this case, redaction
4
is impracticable and the Administrative Record must be filed under seal to protect
5
Plaintiff’s private information pursuant to F.R.C.P. 5.2(a) and (d).

4. The Parties require additional time to submit a motion to file the AR under seal, pursuant
to Local Rule 10-5 and to prepare the voluminous AR filing itself.
5. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request an extension, through Friday, April 7, 2017,
to comply with Section III. B. of the Scheduling Order (Doc. 14).
6. This is the parties’ first request for an extension of time with respect to the Scheduling

Order and is not made for purposes of delay, but rather to allow the parties sufficient time
12
to finalize and protect confidential portions of the contents of the AR. By proceeding
13
with this new deadline, the parties seek to avoid potential motion practice regarding the
14
contents of the AR and to forestall the need to file discovery motions.

7. This extension will not affect any remaining deadlines in the Scheduling Order.
