STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE DEADLINE FOR CONDUCTING MEDIATION 

complete mediation in this action be continued from August 31, 2006 to September 11, 

2006. 

Good cause exists to continue the mediation completion deadline for this short 

amount of time, for two chief reasons, as follows: 

(1) The parties agree that plaintiffs should have the opportunity to depose certain 

USAA Life employee to maximize the opportunity for settlement at the mediation. Those 

employees are located in San Antonio, Texas. After multiple scheduling issues, the parties 

have set those depositions for August 24-25, 2006. The parties desire a short amount of 

time before the mediation and following those depositions to prepare and submit mediation 

statements. 

(2) The mediation presently has been set for August 29, 2006 with Mediator Arthur 

Levy, Esq. On July 31, 2006 Defendants’ counsel Marshall Wallace learned that multiple 

motions in a multiparty case pending in the Central District of California had been set for 

hearing in Los Angeles on August 29, creating a conflict with the agreed mediation date. 

The parties and the Mediator have identified September 1, 2006 as a mutually agreeable 

alternative date. That date, however, is after the present Court-ordered August 31 

deadline. 

The parties therefore request a brief extension of the mediation completion deadline 

from August 31, 2006 to Monday, September 11, 2006. The parties believe it prudent to 

extend the deadline for about 10 days after the agreed September 1 date to allow follow-up 

in the event the mediation does not finally resolve the case on September 1. 

The requested continuance will not alter the date of any other event or deadline 

already fixed by Court order. The action is set for a further Case Management Conference
