1. AHM’s lead attorney on this matter, Livia M. Kiser, is required to attend a court

April 18, 2018 hearing telephonically, along with AHM attorney Andrew J. Chinsky; 

3. Ms. Kiser and Mr. Chinsky are each based in Chicago, Illinois; 

4. AHM attorney Eric B. Schwartz, who has previously appeared at hearings in this 

matter and has presented arguments to the Court on behalf of AHM, will attend the April 18, 

2018 hearing in person; and 

5. The parties filed their Sixth Joint Case Management Statement on April 9, 2018 

(D.E. 141). 

WHEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AND REQUEST that the Court 

enter an Order permitting AHM attorneys Livia M. Kiser and Andrew J. Chinsky to appear
