STIPULATION TO CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE - CASE NO. C05 1229 CRB 

WHEREAS, a Case Management Conference in the above-captioned matter is currently 

set for July 1, 2005.

WHEREAS, Plaintiff Richard P. Wells filed a First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) in this 

matter on June 15, 2005. 

WHEREAS, Defendant, California Physician Service, dba Blue Shield of California 

(“Blue Shield”), intends to file a Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Strike with respect to the FAC, 

which may resolve some, if not all, of the issues raised in the FAC. 

WHEREAS the parties believe that good cause exists for a sixty (60) day continuance of 

the Case Management Conference, in that a continuance will serve the interests of judicial 

economy by offering an opportunity for Blue Shield’s Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Strike to 

be filed and heard prior to the Case Management Conference, thus clarifying the issues that 

remain in dispute in advance of the Case Management Conference. 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED and agreed by Plaintiff and 

Defendant, through their respective attorneys of record, that the Case Management Conference in 

this action, currently set for July 1, 2005, be continued for a period of approximately 60 days, to 

September 9, 2005, at 8:30 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the Court may be deem appropriate. 

Plaintiff and Defendant further stipulate and agree that this Stipulation may be signed in 

counterparts, and facsimile signatures shall have the same force and effect as originals. 

This request is not being made for the purposes of delay.
