Plaintiff Karen Proksel and Defendant Snap-On Incorporated Disability 

Income Program for Exempt Employees Only, by and through their respective 

counsel of record, hereby stipulate and request that both parties be permitted to 

appear telephonically at the hearing on Defendant’s motion for remand to the plan 

administrator scheduled for October 5, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. 

This request is made because both counsel are located in County of Los 

Angeles, California and the hearing is scheduled to take place in Fresno, California. 

It would save both parties significant costs and fees, and their counsel's travel time, 

to allow counsel to appear by telephone. Accordingly, the parties respectfully 

request that their counsel be allowed to appear telephonically.
