ORDER
This case comes before the Court on the parties’ Joint Motion to Amend Specialized Case
Management Order (Dkt. 11) and to Amend Order to Conduct Mediation (Dkt. 12). The Court
orders as follows:
1.

Mediation shall be completed by May 21, 2018.

2.

If the matter is not resolved by mediation, then by June 20, 2018, the parties shall

file the Joint Stipulation as well as their cross-memoranda in support of judgment with respect to
all benefits claims governed by ERISA. Each party shall have five days thereafter to file an
optional reply. These memoranda should follow the form of Local Rule 7.05. All references in
the memoranda shall be to the consecutively-numbered page of the attachments to the Joint
Stipulation. In its discretion, the Court may order a hearing. Unless so ordered, the Court will
decide the ERISA benefits issues upon the record before it without a hearing. Motions for
summary judgment need not be filed.

The procedures set forth in this Order are intended to supersede and replace the
requirements generally applicable under Rules 26(a), (d), and (f) of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. This Order supersedes any earlier entered scheduling order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
