SCHEDULE

DENTONS US LLP

SAN FRANCISCO

Pursuant to Local Rules 6-1(b) and 6-2, Plaintiffs Nick V. Lujan, James A. Charles, and

Barbara C. Wright (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) and Defendants New York Life Insurance Company

and New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (collectively, “Defendants”) hereby

respectfully stipulate and jointly request that the Court modify the briefing schedule as to

Defendants’ planned motion to dismiss the Complaint filed by Plaintiffs.

RECITALS

1. Plaintiffs’ Complaint was originally filed in the Superior Court for the State of

California for the County of Contra Costa, but was removed to this Court on February 24, 2016.

Dkt. 1.

2. Defendants intend to move to dismiss Plaintiffs’ Complaint under Rule 12 of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Defendants’ response to the Complaint would otherwise be due

in Defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss, the parties agree that the below schedule for briefing

and hearing on the motion is warranted.

3. There have not been any previous time modifications in the case.

4. This requested time modification does not impact on any other aspects of the

schedule for the case, or any dates set by the Court.

5. Pursuant to the foregoing, Plaintiffs and Defendants hereby stipulate and agree to

the following modification and request the Court’s approval of their stipulation to the proposed

briefing schedule as follows:
