LA #4818-7090-7700 v1 - 2 - STIPULATION AND (PROPOSED) ORDER FOR 

45-DAY EXTENSION

WHEREAS on April 22, 2016 this Court issued an interlocutory order 

finding Nagy was entitled to disability benefits between September 13, 2011 and 

January 16, 2013. The Court further ordered that Nagy’s claim be remanded to 

Hartford for further proceedings to determine whether Nagy is entitled to benefits 

under the “any occupation” standard under the Hartford disability policy.

WHEREAS, in the Judgment this Court entered, it required that Hartford’s 

decision under the “any occupation” standard shall be made within 90 days of the 

Court’s April 22, 2016 Order, “absent tolling pursuant to ERISA regulations, the 

parties’ stipulation and/or a further order of this Court.”

WHEREAS, the parties are cooperating to obtain the necessary information 

to allow Hartford to conduct a proper review under ERISA, but Hartford is still 

waiting on certain outstanding information, including medical and (possible) 

vocational reviews. This information is necessary for Hartford to complete its 

“any occupation” analysis in accordance with 29 CFR. 2560.503-1, before its final 

decision is presented to this Court.

WHEREAS, the parties stipulate that Hartford may have an extension of 

approximately 45 days, from July 22, 2016 to September 6, 2016 to determine 

whether Nagy is entitled to benefits under the “any occupation” standard under the 

Hartford disability policy and thus jointly request that this Court allow such an 

extension.
