PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR 

CONTINUANCE OF CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE; ORDER

Case Management Conference: March 24, 

2015

Judge: Hon William H. Orrick

Plaintiff Colonial Life and Accident Insurance Company hereby requests that that Court 

reschedule the Case Management Conference set for March 24, 2015 by five weeks until April 

28, 2015, with the expectation that the case will be resolved prior to that rescheduled 

Conference. 

This is an interpleader matter. Defendants are the interested parties in disputed life 

insurance benefits from a policy issued by Plaintiff. On December 22, 2014, Plaintiff deposited 

$36,414.67 with the Registry of the Court. (See Doc. 8) This amount represents the payable life

that they would waive personal service. During that process, Plaintiff communicated regularly 

with all defendants to encourage them to resolve their dispute over the proper disbursement of 

the disputed benefits. During this informal negotiation, Plaintiffs have allowed Defendants to 

delay their filing of responsive pleadings in the hopes of reaching a resolution of the claim.

Plaintiff now reports that it appears that all defendants have reached an agreement 

concerning the proper disbursement of the insurance benefits. Plaintiff has prepared a 

settlement agreement for defendants’ review and approval. This agreement should be finalized 

within the next four weeks. Once the agreement is finalized, Plaintiff will request the Court

disburse the benefits in accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement. Plaintiff will

then dismiss the case. 

For the following reason, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court reschedule the 

March 24, 2015 Case Management Conference until April 28, 2015.
