UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Marianne Dilley and Defendants Metropolitan Life Insurance Company 

(“MetLife”) and Bank of America Long Term Disability Benefits Plan (the “Plan”) (collectively, 

“the parties”) hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

WHEREAS, at the initial Case Management Conference (“CMC”) that took place in this 

action on December 5, 2007, and as reflected in the Court’s order dated December 11, 2007, the 

parties were directed to file summary judgment motions in this action no later than April 2, 2008;

WHEREAS, all counsel realized after the CMC that the summary judgment briefing 

schedule that they agreed to at the CMC directly conflicts with preplanned vacation schedules and 

other prescheduled business matters, and entered into a stipulation modifying the summary 

judgment briefing schedule and resetting the hearing date to June 11, 2008, which was approved 

by the Court on December 21, 2007, with a modification to the hearing date of June 18, 2008;
