MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO MEDIATE / CASE NO.C 05-01234SBA

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-5, Plaintiff Debra Kenwright and Defendants Life Insurance

Company of North America and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company Employee 

Long Term Disability Plan hereby stipulate and request that the Court extend the deadline for the 

parties to complete mediation from November 30, 2005 to December 31, 2005. The parties have 

scheduled a mediation with the Honorable Edward A. Infante (Ret.) of JAMS for December 21, 

2005. 

Good cause exists to extend this deadline. Plaintiff’s counsel is currently scheduled for 

several trials through the end of December 2005. In addition, the LINA representative for the 

Western United States has no availability during the month of November, due to previously 

scheduled mediations. Moreover, the Honorable Edward A. Infante (Ret.) of JAMS had limited 

availability in November and December. The parties have coordinated schedules and can 

mediate on December 21, 2005.

The only other time modification in this action was a stipulation by the parties to a 30-

day extension of time for Defendants to file a responsive pleading to Plaintiff’s complaint, filed 

on or about June 14, 2005.

Extending the mediation deadline will not affect the schedule of the case.
