OHS West:260237270.2 STIPULATION AND ORDER DISMISSING THIRD 

CLAIM FOR RELIEF AS AGAINST ALLTEL

 C06-07025 

WHEREAS, the Complaint in this case includes a Third Claim for Relief that 

seeks discretionary statutory penalties under ERISA against Defendant Alltel Telephone Services 

Long Term Disability Plan (“Alltel Plan”) and other Defendants; and 

WHEREAS, the issues raised by that Third Claim for Relief are distinct from the 

issues raised by Plaintiff’s First and Second Claims for Relief directed at the Alltel Plan and other 

Defendants, and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to an agreement between Plaintiff and the Alltel Plan, 

Plaintiff does not intend to pursue her Third Claim for Relief as against the Alltel Plan; and 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and the Alltel Plan now seek to facilitate the dismissal of 

that claim as against the Alltel Plan so as to simplify the present action; and 

WHEREAS, in light of the expedited schedule in this case, the interests of judicial 

economy and efficiency will be served by voluntarily dismissing the Third Claim as to the Alltel 

Plan by means of this Stipulation rather than amending the Complaint to eliminate said claim; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between Plaintiff and the Alltel Plan, as 

follows: 

1. Plaintiff’s Third Claim for Relief against the Alltel Plan shall be dismissed 

without prejudice as against the Alltel Plan. Dismissal of said Claim shall not have any impact or 

prejudice to Plaintiff’s claims as against Defendants other than the Alltel Plan; 

2. Plaintiff and the Alltel Plan shall each bear its own costs and attorney’s 

fees regarding the Third Claim for Relief; provided, however, that this Stipulation shall not 

impact in any way Plaintiff’s rights, if any, regarding recovery of costs or attorney’s fees in 

connection with Plaintiff’s First or Second Claims for Relief or her Third Claim for Relief as 

against the remaining defendants.
