JOINT REQUEST AND STIPULATION TO AMEND PLAINTIFF’S FIRST AMENDED COMPAINT TO ADD A 

NEW PARTY, APM FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS, LLC; PROPOSED ORDER

WHEREAS APM Financial Solutions, LLC cannot submit to a judgment without being a party 

to the litigation; 

WHEREAS Defendants and APM Financial Solutions, LLC have consented to Plaintiff 

amending her First Amended Complaint to name APM Financial Solutions LLC as a defendant;

WHEREAS APM Financial Solutions, LLC waives service and consents to the jurisdiction of 

the Court;

WHEREAS the parties agree that if the settlement agreement and stipulated judgment are not 

executed, thereby potentially causing the litigation to go forward to trial, the instant stipulation is nonoperative, and Plaintiff will thus be required to file a motion to amend the Amended Complaint based 

on evidence and argument in support of such a motion if she desires to have APM Financial Solutions 

Inc. as a named defendant in this lawsuit.

THEREFORE the parties and non-party APM Financial Solutions, LLC jointly request that the 

Court amend the operative complaint to add APM Financial Solutions, LLC as a defendant to the 

instant case.
