THERESA MONSEUR KELLY, 

 Plaintiff, 

 vs. 

UNUM LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 

OF AMERICA, UNUMPROVIDENT, 

CORPORATION, and MDL HEALTH PLAN, 

 Defendants. 

Case No. C 05-02915-CW 

 

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

CONTINUE CMC SET FOR JANUARY 

29, 2008 

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE CMC

The parties stipulate as follows: 

This action has been stayed pursuant to the Court’s order to allow for the 

Case 4:05-cv-02915-CW Document 42 Filed 01/15/08 Page 1 of 3
defendant to reassess the plaintiff’s disability claim. The claim reassessment process has 

concluded, and the defendant has found in the plaintiff’s favor, reversing its previous 

decision to terminate disability benefits to the plaintiff. As a result, the defendant has 

paid past-due disability benefits to the plaintiff and reinstated her ongoing disability 

claim. Accordingly, the Court will not need to address the core issue as to whether the 

defendants wrongly terminated the plaintiff’s disability benefits. 

The parties are working to resolve any remaining issues in this action, including 

the plaintiff’s request for attorney’s fees and expenses. The parties are attempting to 

draft stipulations and a proposed order to conclude this action. The parties are hopeful 

that an agreement can be reached that avoids judicial intervention. In that regard, the 

parties request that the Case Management Conference, now set for January 22, 2008, be 

continued for one week, to January 29, 2008, at 2:00 p.m.
