1

Aetna makes this request because the Parties are engaged in settlement negotiations, and

2

believe that they will be able to resolve his matter without briefing, but require additional time to

3

reach an agreement. Aetna requests, and Peterson does not oppose, a modified case schedule as

4

outlined above to permit additional time for settlement, and to prevent unnecessary briefing.
