STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER TO CONTINUE THE CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

HEARING

WHEREAS, on August 8, 2016, the Court entered an order setting a Case Management 

Conference (“CMC”) in this action for October 6, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 5, 17th Floor, 450 

Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California;

WHEREAS, on September 7, 2016 Defendants LISA CHANG and CAROL CHANG filed a 

Motion to Dismiss Or, In the Alternative, to Stay this action (“Motion”);

WHEREAS, if granted, the aforementioned Motion would dispose of the present action or stay 

it during the pendency of a state court action between Plaintiff MASSACHUSETTS MUTUAL LIFE

the other hand and involving the same insurance policy giving rise to the present action (that state

Superior Court Case No. CGC-16-554087) thereby obviating the need for a CMC;

WHEREAS, if the aforementioned Motion is denied, a CMC could thereafter be promptly 

scheduled;

WHEREAS, the parties to this case have requested one previous time modification; 

specifically, a Stipulation to Extend Time to Respond to the Initial Complaint, filed on August 1, 2016 

and entered in the docket on August 5, 2016;

WHEREAS, the previous Stipulation to Extend Time to Respond to the Initial Complaint 

effected a one month extension of time (the Complaint was filed on June 30, 2016 and was served on 

the defendants on July 18, 2016, with a response to the Complaint originally due on August 8, 2016);

WHEREAS, a continuance of the currently-scheduled CMC to a date—if necessary—to follow

the Court’s disposition of the pending Motion will potentially save the Court and the parties the time 

and expense attendant on preparing for a CMC that may become unnecessary depending on the 

disposition of the Motion;

WHEREAS, the hearing on the Motion is set for October 27, 2016;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between 

Plaintiff MASSACHUSETTS MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY and Defendants LISA 

CHANG and CAROL CHANG, by and through their respective counsel, that:

1. The CMC currently scheduled for October 6, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 5, 17th

Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California—and all the associated dates—is and are 

hereby VACATED.

2. If this case remains pending and active following the hearing on the Defendants’ 

Motion set for October 27, 2016, a CMC will re-set on an available date on the Court’s calendar 

following October 27, 2016.
