JOINT STIPULATION CASE NO. C 05 0789 JW

In the joint Case Management Statement, the parties agreed to proceed with an early

settlement conference before a Magistrate Judge and agreed that the Court could resolve this

matter on summary judgment or with a court trial which will consist of the Court’s review of the

administrative record, any additional matter admissible within the constraints of ERISA, and the

arguments of counsel.

The Court’s Case Management Order referred this matter to the Magistrate Judge for an

early settlement conference and Ordered the parties to file motions for summary judgment on or

before December 5, 2005 to be heard on January 9, 2006 with another Case Management

Conference to be held on January 9, 2006.

 Because the parties were scheduled for an early settlement conference with Magistrate

Judge Richard Seeborg set for December 12, 2005, the parties stipulated and the Court ordered

the parties to file motions for summary judgment on or before February 6, 2006 to be heard on

March 13, 2006 with another Case Management Conference to be held on March 13, 2006.

The parties completed the December 12, 2005 early settlement conference with Judge

Richard Seeborg and have been engaged in ongoing settlement negotiations which Judge Seeborg

agreed to monitor.

In light of the ongoing settlement negotiations, the parties stipulate by and through their

respective counsel of record to continue the March 13, 2006 hearing date for motions for

summary judgment and further Case Management Conference to a date on or after May 15, 2006.

GOOD CAUSE exists for this brief continuance as the parties wish to devote all of their

energies to resolving the matter through settlement and not waste time and resources

unnecessarily preparing motions for summary judgment.

SO STIPULATED.
