105 days of the Court entering an order staying the federal court proceedings in this matter,
2
“Plaintiff (through her counsel) shall . . . submit any comments, documents, records, or other
3
information she so chooses to the Committee for its review.” ECF 76 at 2–3. The Parties further
4
agreed that the Committee would “then have 60 days to render its determination on Plaintiff’s
5
claim, which may be extended an additional 60 days pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 2560.503-

9
directed the Parties to file a joint status report within 180 days of entry of the order. Id. The
10
proceedings in this matter have therefore been stayed pending a remand to the Employee
11
Benefit Plans Committee of Plaintiff’s administrative claim, and the Parties must file a joint
12
status report no later than December 2, 2019.

Plaintiff’s deadline to submit any comments, documents, records, or other
14
information she so chooses to the Committee for its review is September 17, 2019. The Parties
15
hereby agree and stipulate that good cause exists to extend that deadline. The Parties therefore
16
stipulate to extend the deadline for Plaintiff to provide materials to the Employee Benefit Plans
17
Committee for Review on Remand to October 17, 2019.

The Parties further agree that the Committee will then have 60 days to render its
