WHEREAS, Plaintiff John Doe brought this action to recover long term disability benefits; 

WHEREAS, Defendant Life Insurance Company of North America (“LINA”) approved 

Plaintiff’s claim for long term disability benefits after the filing of this action; 

WHEREAS, the only remaining issue in this case is whether Plaintiff is entitled to a life

National Employer Group Insurance Trust, with Plaintiff’s former employer Excite Inc. as a 

participating subscriber, Policy No. SGM-500668 (the “Policy”); 

WHEREAS, the parties are attempting to informally resolve the issue of Plaintiff’s 

entitlement to the waiver of premium benefit under the Policy; 

WHEREAS, in the Joint Status Statement filed by the parties on January 21, 2010, Plaintiff 

indicated that he intended to file a motion for summary judgment on the waiver of premium issue 

no later than February 12, 2010; 

 WHEREAS, the parties would like an additional two weeks to try to informally resolve the 

waiver of premium issue; 

WHEREAS, there have been no previous stipulations to extend the time to file the motion 

for summary judgment on the waiver of premium issue; 

WHEREAS, the Court vacated all deadlines in this case on January 26, 2010; 

WHEREAS, the Court’s Order Vacating Status Conference, filed January 26, 2010, states
