Chavez v. UNUM Life Insurance Company of America

Filing 9

STIPULATED ORDER by Magistrate Judge William P. Lynch. (mej)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO

ORLANDO A. CHAVEZ,
Plaintiff,

Case No: 1:17-cv-00280-KBM-WPL

v.
UNUM LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA
Defendant,

STIPULATED ORDER TO AMEND COMPLAINT
THIS MATTER having come before the Court at the Status Conference heretofore set
and the parties appearing by counsel of record, Jeffrey B. Diamond, attorney for the Plaintiff,
and Little V. West, attorney for the Defendant, the Plaintiff explained to the Court and opposing
counsel that he had inadvertently placed Paragraph 5 in the Complaint which involves another
insurance company disability plan and employer, and said Paragraph 5 should be amended out
and Plaintiff allowed to file a First Amended Complaint, attached hereto and incorporated by
reference as Exhibit 1.
Counsel for Defendant announced in open Court that he has no objection to allowing this
amendment, and the parties and the Court agree that this would give the parties some additional
time before this matter gets into a trial mode, to attempt in good faith to settle this claim.
IT IS, THEREFORE, STIPULATED AND ORDERED that Plaintiff be authorized to file
a First Amended Complaint, amending out Paragraph 5 of original complaint.
