 Plaintiff Margo Stension (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant United States Life Insurance 

Company (“Defendant” or “US Life”), hereby jointly stipulate by and through their respective 

attorneys of record as follows: 

 1. This action involves a dispute between the parties concerning an accidental death 

and dismemberment policy under which plaintiff’s decedent was insured at the time of his death; 

 2. The present deadline for Defendant US Life to respond to Plaintiff’s complaint on 

file herein is September 2, 2016; 

 3. After the original complaint in this action was filed, the Sacramento County 

Coroner issued an amended death certificate for Plaintiff’s decedent, a copy of which has been 

provided by counsel for Plaintiff to counsel for Defendant; 

 4. Counsel for Plaintiff has advised Counsel for Defendant of his intention to file an 

amended complaint in this action that will reflect the amended death certificate issued by the 

Sacramento County Coroner and will add a cause of action for breach of the implied covenant of 

good faith and fair dealing; 

 5. Counsel for Plaintiff has provided a draft copy of the amended complaint to 

counsel for Defendant, who has agreed to stipulate to an order granting leave to file an amended 

complaint; 

 6. Counsel for both parties agree that Defendant’s deadline to file a response to the 

complaint may be extended by 30 days, until October 3, 206, and no response to the original 

pleading need be filed if this Court issues an order allowing the filing of the amended complaint. 

 For the foregoing reasons, the parties jointly request that the Court issue an order (1) 

granting Plaintiff leave to file an Amended Complaint, and (2) extending the time of Defendant 

US Life to respond to and including October 3, 2016.
