STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Case No.2:07 CV 01818 GEB DAD 

 

Whereas Plaintiff filed a Notice of Settlement regarding BLUECROSS 

BLUESHIELD OF MASSACHUSETTS on 4/2/08 and whereas dispositional 

documents for EXCELLUS BLUECROSS BLUESHIELD are due on 4/28/08; and 

Whereas Local Rule 16-160 calls for dispositional documents to be filed 

within twenty (“20”) days following a Notice of Settlement; and 

Whereas Plaintiff and Settling Defendants have reached a settlement in 

principle and anticipate a final executed settlement agreement will be completed 

within roughly thirty (“30”) days of the filing of this stipulation; and 

Whereas Dameron does not anticipate it will need any further stipulations to 

finish settlement and dismiss these parties. 

Now therefore, Dameron and Settling Defendants, by and through their 

respective counsel, hereby stipulate to extend the due date for Dameron to file 

dispositional documents related to its settlement with Settling Defendants (and 

corresponding parties) to May 23, 2008. 

Good cause exists for continuing the due date for dispositional documents 

regarding Settling Defendants to May 23, 2008 because Dameron has reached a 

settlement with Settling Defendants that is dispositive of this matter as to Settling 

Defendants and numerous other defendants, and anticipates that a final executed 

settlement and release allowing dismissal of those parties will be completed on or 

before May 23, 2008. Dameron does not anticipate the need for further extensions. 

A proposed order is being filed concurrently herewith. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
