The Parties, Plaintiff CARL T. EDWARDS (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant AT&T 

UMBRELLA BENEFIT PLAN NO. 1 (erroneously sued as AT&T DISABILITY INCOME

stipulate to continue the Initial Case Management Conference currently calendared for April 

17, 2008 at 2:30 p.m. to May 29, 2008 at 2:30 p.m. The Parties further agree to continue all 

associated deadlines, including applicable ADR deadlines, the deadline for completing initial 

disclosures, filing a case management statement and filing a Rule 26(f) report to the dates 

set forth below: 

May 8, 2008 Last day to: 

• Meet and confer re: initial disclosures, early 

settlement, ADR process selection and 

discovery plan; 

• File ADR Certification signed by Parties and 

Counsel; 

• File either Stipulation to ADR Process or

Report 

May 29, 2008 INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

Good cause exists for this extension because it will allow Defendant to file its 

response to the Complaint (by April 9, 2008) and gather information and documents in 

advance of conferring with opposing counsel required as by Rule 26(f). This extension of 

time will allow the parties to engage in an orderly process as contemplated by the Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure: Defendant’s response to the Complaint, followed by the required 

conference of counsel, initial disclosures and the preparation and filing of the Joint Case 

Management Statement and Rule 26(f) Report. In addition, plaintiff’s counsel will be out of 

the country on a pre-scheduled vacation from April 1 through 15, 2008, for which nonCase 4:07-cv-04573-PJH Document 17 Filed 03/28/08 Page 2 of 4
