records that were received by Kaiser’s counsel on October 30, 2018 and December 4, 2018, to 

consider as part of Plaintiff’s submissions. The parties believe that a reasonable continuance of the 

Case Management Conference for approximately sixty (60) days should enable Kaiser to complete 

its consideration of Plaintiff’s submissions and complete the initial review so that the parties may 

assess the outstanding issues and develop a plan for moving forward; THEREFORE, IT IS 

HEREBY STIPULATED AND RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED that this Court continue the 

December 18, 2018 case management conference to Tuesday, February 26, 2019 at 2:00 p.m., and 

that the due date for the joint case management statement be continued to Tuesday, February 19, 

2019. The parties will address the issues itemized by the Court in its March 6, 2018 order in the 

parties’ joint case management statement.
