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

follows:

1. US Life’s Motion to Dismiss, pursuant to F.R.C.P. 12(b)(6), was filed on 

September 15, 2016 and currently is set for hearing on October 31, 2016 in Courtroom 5 of this 

Court;

2. Plaintiff and US Life have agreed to informally exchange documents and engage in 

settlement discussions prior to October 31, 2016 in the hopes of reaching an early settlement of 

this litigation;

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

Dismiss should be continued to November 28, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. in order to allow the parties to 

focus on settlement discussions and avoid unnecessarily incurring additional expenses and/or 

costs in this matter; 

4. Plaintiff and US Life agree that the date for plaintiff to file an opposition to the 

motion to dismiss also should be continued to November 14, 2016 and the date for US Life to

5. This stipulation is made in good faith and not for the purposes of delay or 

obstruction; and 

6. This stipulation to continue the hearing date on US Life’s motion to dismiss does 

not alter the date of any event or any deadline already fixed by Court Order, and no previous 

stipulation to continue the hearing date on the motion to dismiss has been filed in this action.
