This is case for health benefits arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 

1974, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq. (“ERISA”). 

The parties have engaged in settlement discussions in an attempt to avoid incurring the cost of 

private mediation, but agree that a mediation is likely necessary if the case is to be resolved amicably. 

To that end, the parties have scheduled a mediation with Keith Parker, Esq. of ADR Services in Los 

Angeles for October 7, 2016. 

However, the scheduled date of the mediation is one week after the current schedule calls for 

the parties to submit their cross-motions for judgment. As a result, the parties respectfully request that 

the Court continue the current briefing schedule to accommodate the scheduled mediation, as 

follows: 

Cross-motions for judgment: October 21, 2016 

(currently September 30, 2016) 

Responsive briefs: November 18, 2016 

(currently October 21, 2016) 

Hearing date: December 2, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. 

(unchanged) 

This is the first request the parties have made to continue the above briefing schedule.
