Joint Stipulation and Order Page | 2

CASE NO. 2:11-CV-00353-MCE AC 

Order (ECF No. 197) was August 2, 2016. An extension of time to file closing documents and 

the dismissal is necessary due to the extended negotiations with Medicare. The parties stipulate 

to and request an extension of ninety days.

Counsel for Plaintiff apologizes to the Court for failing to apprise the Court of the need 

for additional time to file dispositional documents before August 2, 2016. That date had been 

calendared in Counsel's office computerized calendar which generally synchronizes with 

counsel's Smart Phone calendar. However, during a recent move of the computer equipment, the 

server suffered a malfunction and has yet to be operating properly. It is respectfully requested 

that this Court not impose sanctions as counsel are diligently working to secure the necessary 

information to finalize the settlement.

In order to complete the settlement, both sides require a final payment amount from 

Medicare. Counsel for Mr. Tandel has been in contact with Medicare after submitting the 

necessary paperwork, and back up documents months ago. When last she spoke with Medicare 

on August 17, 2016, she was informed that the case had finally been reviewed, the review 

completed, and that the reviewer was in the process of "preparing a letter". She was told the 

letter should be received within 14 days. If it did not arrive in that time, she was told to call 

back. If the letter did not resolve the matter, she was told that she may need to supply additional 

information. 

In light of time Medicare requires to respond, it is respectfully requested that the Court set 

the date for the filing of disposition documents to November 4, 2016. 

Counsel has spoken with Defense Counsel who does not oppose this motion as they 

require the same information from Medicare to finalize the settlement.

Consequently, it is herein respectfully requested that the Court not impose sanctions or 

dismiss the case and, instead, continue the matter to November 2, 2016.
