ORDER CONTINUING INITIAL CASE

Complaint Filed: April 27, 2016

Plaintiff JANE DOE (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE 

COMPANY (“Defendant”) (collectively “the Parties”), through their counsel stipulate as follows:

RECITALS

1. Plaintiff filed the Complaint initiating this action on April 27, 2016, alleging that

determination.

STIPULATION CONTINUING INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

Case No. 3:16-CV-2298 JST

2. The Court set an Initial Case Management Conference for August 3, 2016, with a 

Joint Case Management Statement due on July 27, 2016.

3. Defendant is in the process of completing an administrative review of Plaintiff’s LTD 

appeal and expects to issue a determination in the next 30 to 45 days, which could materially impact 

the status of this case and what issues, if any, may proceed.

4. Accordingly, the Parties agree that continuing the Initial Case Management 

Conference to September 7, 2016 is appropriate in order to avoid unnecessary fees and cost, and to 

give the parties an opportunity to better understand the issues involved and to advise the Court of the 

issues to be presented. 

STIPULATION

The Parties hereby stipulate pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-1(b) that the Initial Case 

Management Conference is continued from August 3, 2016 to September 7, 2016, or as soon 

thereafter as is convenient for the Court. The Parties further stipulate that their deadline to file a 

Joint Case Management Conference Statement will be August 31, 2016.
