STIPULATION FOR FILING FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT AND CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE [PROPOSED] ORDER

EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.

Plaintiff, Lillyth Quillan and Defendant Cigna Healthcare of California, Inc. ("Cigna"), through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate to the following:

1. This lawsuit, which is governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001 et seq. ("ERISA") involves Plaintiff's claims for recovery of denied health benefits;

2. After cooperative discussions between counsel, it has been determined that the ERISA Plan responsible for paying benefits is self-funded rather than insured. As such the current Defendant, Cigna, only acted as the administrator for the Plan, and is not the proper defendant here;

3. The parties to this lawsuit therefore stipulate to the filing of the First Amended Complaint, which is attached to this Stipulation as Exhibit A. This First Amended Complaint removes Cigna as the defendant, and adds the Visa Inc. Cigna Network POS Plan (the "Visa Plan");

4. The First Amended Complaint will have to be served on the Visa Plan, and Cigna's present counsel is uncertain whether he will be retained to represent the Visa Plan. As such, the Parties submit that it would be prudent to continue the Case Management Conference, currently set for November 24, 2015, for four weeks to allow for new counsel to appear and become sufficiently familiar with this matter to participate in the CMC.

It is So Stipulated

PROPOSED ORDER

PURSUANT TO THE STIPULATION OF THE PARTIES and for Good Cause shown, the following is hereby Ordered:

1. That the First Amended Complaint attached to this Stipulation as Exhibit A is hereby filed; and

2. The Case Management Conference currently set for November 24, 2015 is reset for Janaury 14, 2016 at 9:30am. The Parties are further Ordered to file a Case Management Statement no later than seven days prior to the new Case Management Conference date.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
