IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties to this action, through their 

attorneys of record, pursuant to Local Rules 6-2 and 7.12, as follows: 

BACKGROUND

1. The Court’s Order Granting Plaintiff’s Request for Attorneys Fees and Costs (“the 

Order”), awards plaintiff her attorneys fees and costs in this ERISA action. The Order was signed 

by the Court on February 4, 2008 and entered on February 5, 2008, and provided 30 days from the 

date the Ordered was entered for counsel to meet and confer, and to submit a stipulation on the 

amount of fees and costs. If the parties were not to agree on the amount of fees, each party was to 

submit a letter to the court advising of their positions. The parties’ stipulation or individual letters 

would therefore be due on March 6, 2008. 

2. The parties submitted a stipulation on March 6, 2008 agreeing to submit papers on 

March 13, 2008. Because the parties are continuing to try to resolve the fee issue and require 

additional time to do so, they stipulate as follows: 

STIPULATION

THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE THAT: 

a. The time for the parties to meet and confer on the amount of attorneys fees is 

extended four days, from March 13, 2008 to March 17, 2008; 

b. If the parties agree on an amount of fees, the parties shall file a stipulation to 

that effect by March 17, 2008; 

c. Should the parties not agree upon the amount of fees, each party shall
