STIPULATION TO CONTINUE HEARING DATE ON DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS STIPULAT

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between Plaintiff Delia Beers and

behalf of incorrectly named AIG Benefit Solutions (“US Life”), through their attorneys of 

record, as follows:

of this Court;

2. Plaintiff and US Life informally exchanged documents and are continuing 

to engage in settlement discussion in the hopes of reaching an early settlement of this

3. Plaintiff and US Life have agreed that the hearing date on US Life’s 

Motion to Dismiss should be continued to December 12, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. in order to 

allow the parties to focus on settlement discussions and avoid unnecessarily incurring

previous stipulation to continue the hearing date on the motion to dismiss has been filed 

in this action.
