STIPULATION 

JOINT STIPULATION 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto that all dates related 

to Defendant’s motion for summary judgment be continued by four weeks (28 days). Good 

cause exists for this request because on March 15, 2016, the daughter of Plaintiff’s chief counsel, 

James P. Keenley was born. Mr. Keenley intends to take family leave until April 12, 2016 

to spend time with his wife and new daughter. As a result, Plaintiff requires additional time to

file his opposition and requests that all dates be continued by 28 days to allow this motion to be 

briefed and heard on the standard 35-day calendar. 

WHEREAS, on November 24, 2015, this Court issued its Case Management Order in 

Denial-of-Benefits Action Under ERISA (Doc. #19), ordering that Defendant Unum Life 

Insurance Company of America file a Motion for Summary Judgment by March 17, 2016, on a 

35-day track (with the hearing set for April 21, 2016), and that Plaintiff James Burke’s 

opposition and any request for discovery shall be filed three weeks before the hearing (March 

31, 2016) with any reply by Defendant filed two weeks before the hearing (April 7, 2016). 

As stated above, good cause exists to permit the parties to extend the briefing deadlines 

and hearing date of Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment, and no prejudice to the parties 

or the Court would result from such an extension. 

WHEREFORE, the Parties stipulate as follows: 

Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment deadline shall be extended from March 17, 

2016 to April 14, 2016; 

 The deadline for Plaintiff’s opposition to the Motion for Summary Judgment shall be 

extended from March 31, 2016 to April 28, 2016; 

The deadline for Defendant’s reply in support of the Motion for Summary Judgment shall 

be extended from April 7, 2016 to May 5, 2016; and 

The hearing for Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment shall be moved from April 

21, 2016 to May 19, 2016. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
