STIPULATION

Pursuant to Rule 6-1(a) of the Local Rules of Practice for the United States 

District Court for the Northern District of California (“Local Rules”), Plaintiff John 

Doe (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Metropolitan Life Insurance Company 

(“Defendant”), by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate to a further 

extension of time within which Defendant may respond to the Complaint filed by 

Plaintiff on July 31, 2018 and served on Defendant on September 25, 2018. 

Specifically, Defendant shall have an additional six (6) days from the current 

response due date of November 15, 2018, in which to answer or otherwise respond, 

such that a pleading filed on or before November 21, 2018 shall be deemed timely. 

Good cause exists for this extension because Defendant has only recently retained 

counsel, and additional time is needed to gather all relevant documents and all 

matters previously reviewed and considered in connection with Plaintiff’s disability 

claim (i.e., the “Administrative Record”), to formulate its interim litigation strategy 

and to prepare its actual responsive pleadings. 

This extension will not alter the date of any event or any deadline 

already fixed by Court order.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
