IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between plaintiff Penny Bender 

(“plaintiff”) and defendants Hartford Life Insurance Company and The Bertelsmann, Inc., 

Employee Protection Plan Number 503 (collectively “defendants”), by and through their 

attorneys of record herein, that the hearing on the parties’ cross motions for judgment be 

continued from July 16, 2010 to July 30, 2010: 

1. On April 27, 2010, the Court granted plaintiff’s motion to re-open discovery to take 

the deposition of Bruce Luddy, a Hartford employee, and set a briefing schedule for the parties 

to file supplement briefs on their cross-motions for judgment following Mr. Luddy’s deposition. 

The deposition took place on May 28, 2010. 

2. Plaintiff was ordered to file her supplemental Opposition and Reply on or before June 

11, 2010, and defendants were ordered to file their Supplemental Sur-Reply on or before June 

25, 2010. 

3. The hearing on the parties’ cross-motions for judgment was set for July 16, 2010 at 

9:00 a.m. 

4. Good cause exists to continue the hearing to July 30, 2010, as counsel for defendants 

is unavailable on July 16, 2010. 

WHEREAS, the parties hereby stipulate, agree, and respectfully request that the Court 

continue the hearing date for the cross-motions for judgment to July 30, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. The 

continuance will not affect the briefing schedule, and defendants’ Supplemental Sur-Reply will 

remain due to be filed on or before June 25, 2010. 

SO STIPULATED, AGREED, AND RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED:
