Case No.: 07-CV-03630 PJH 

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE 

DEADLINE TO COMPLETE 

MEDIATION 

The parties to the above captioned litigation desire and agree to continue the deadline to 

complete the mediation in this matter from January 16, 2008 to February 28, 2008. The plaintiff has a 

pending workers compensation claim for which plaintiff has received benefits. The workers 

compensation insurance carrier is entitled to reimbursement of workers paid to the plaintiff. Plaintiff’s 

counsel contacted the plaintiff’s attorney for the workers compensation claim and was advised that 

Lexington Insurance Company was the appropriate workers compensation insurance carrier. Plaintiff’s 

counsel in this action sent the complaint, answer, removal to federal court, and the case management 

and pretrial order to the attorney for the workers compensation insurance carrier and requested that the 

workers compensation insurance carrier intervene in this action. When Lexington Insurance Company’s 

attorney failed to respond, plaintiff’s counsel called Lexington Insurance Company’s counsel and was 

informed that A.I.G. was the appropriate workers compensation insurance carrier. Plaintiff’s counsel 

has contacted A.I.G. and requested that it intervene in this action. A.I.G. has not yet responded.

A.I.G. is a potential party to this action and should have the opportunity to intervene and 

participate in the mediation of this matter. The parties request that the deadline for mediation be 

continued for six weeks to allow A.I.G. the opportunity to intervene. Absent A.I.G’s involvement there 

will be an impediment to settlement because the parties will not know the extent of A.I.G.’s workers 

compensation lien. 

The mediator, Jacqueline Scott-Corley does not oppose the continuance. 

Therefore, the parties to this action hereby stipulate, by and through their respective counsel of 

record to continue the deadline to mediate this matter from January 16, 2008 to February 28, 2008.
