EDWARD J. DAVILA, District Judge.

JOINT STIPULATION

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-1, Plaintiff Nia Mujadadi-Turan ("Plaintiff") and Defendant Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife"), hereby jointly stipulate to an extension of time for MetLife to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint. The Parties agree and stipulate that MetLife will respond to Plaintiff's Complaint on or before November 10, 2015. In support of this Stipulation, the Parties agree and stipulate as follows:

1. On June 18, 2015, Plaintiff initiated the present action against MetLife in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. (See ECF Doc. No. 1).

2. MetLife was served with the Summons and Complaint in this action on June 26, 2015.

3. The parties submitted stipulations extending the deadline for MetLife to respond to the Complaint to facilitate on-going settlement discussions. (See ECF Doc. Nos. 11, 14 and 20).

4. The Parties have agreed to an additional thirty (30) day extension of time for MetLife to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint. Accordingly, based on the stipulation, MetLife's response to Plaintiff's Complaint is due on or before November 10, 2015.

5. The Parties are optimistic that a resolution can be reached in this matter, and the additional time will afford the Parties the opportunity to explore settlement opportunities without incurring additional costs of litigation. This Stipulation will not alter the date of any event or deadline already fixed by Court order. Therefore, the Parties stipulate and agree to extend MetLife's deadline to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint until November 10, 2015.
