STIP. RE PLEADINGS & JOINT STATUS REPORT CASE NO. 2:10-cv-02222-JAM-KJM

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the plaintiffs RICHARD NELSON and

SANDRA NELSON and defendants UNUM LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA;

UNUM GROUP; PROVIDENT LIFE AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY, through

their respective counsel of record that defendants shall have through and including March 1,

2011 to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint and the parties shall have until on or

before March 15, 2011 to file a Joint Status Report.

GOOD CAUSE EXISTS for this continuance as the parties have been engaged in

successful settlement discussions, which at minimum have reduced the issues in the litigation. 

Furthermore, the mediation with Robert Kaplan that the parties agreed to complete on December

8, 2010, was continued and will now be completed on or before March 1, 2011. The parties wish

to defer all legal costs in the hopes that they can settle the issues raised herein at the mediation
