The deadline for Plaintiffs to respond to the Counter and Cross-Claims filed by Century 

Indemnity Company, as successor to CCI Insurance Company, as successor to Insurance 

Company of North America, as alleged insurer of The Estate of Ronald G. Armstrong, Deceased, 

pursuant to California Probate Code section 550 et seq., shall be extended for 14 days from 

April 30, 2013, up to and including May 14, 2013. The parties hereto previously stipulated to 

three prior extensions from the original date of November 30, 2012, to the current date of 

April 30, 2013. Good cause exists for the requested extension. Several parties to this action, 

including but not limited to the parties to this stipulation, have engaged in settlement discussions, 

have participated in a full day of mediation before Robert Kaplan of Judicate West, and have 

agreed to continue the mediation to a mutually acceptable date in the future. In addition, there is 

a pending motion for limited stay to allow the parties to conduct discovery on a discrete issue, the 

resolution of which is considered a prerequisite to settlement by one of the parties. The requested 

extension would allow the parties to conserve their limited resources and focus on resolution 

while these settlement discussions and mediation are ongoing.
