WHEREAS, Plaintiffs (Quaresma/DaRosa/Flam) and Defendants (BC 

Life/Blue Cross) have been attempting to settle this litigation; 

WHEREAS, the parties have submitted this matter to the California 

Insurance Commissioner’s Office for an Independent Medical Review (“IMR”), which

Defendant Blue Cross (although not binding on Plaintiffs); 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by Defendants (Blue Cross 

of California and BC Life & Health Insurance Company) and Plaintiffs (Maria Quaresma, 

Successor in Interest of Leonel DaRosa, a deceased individual and, Marshall S. Flam, 

M.D.), being the only parties to this litigation, through their respective counsel of record, 

as follows: 

1. The current litigation is to be placed on “stay” until the sooner of 

either (a) thirty (30) days after the California Insurance Commissioner reaches a final 

decision on the pending IMR, or (b) the Second Amended Complaint is filed.
