STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING THE TIME TO FILE OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT REGARDING ERISA PREEMPTION AND ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS (First Request)

RICHARD F. BOULWARE, II, District Judge.

The Parties have stipulated to give Plaintiff a forty-five (45) day extension of time to file the Opposition to Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment Regarding ERISA Preemption and Eligibility for Benefits (ECF No. 47) in this matter. The reasons supporting this stipulation are as follows: The Honorable Magistrate George Foley, Jr. issued a September 9, 2016 Order, granting in part and denying in part Defendants' Motion for Protective Order (ECF Nos. 39 and 50). The Honorable Magistrate Foley is permitting Plaintiff to take the deposition of one Rule 30(b)(6) representative and the parties have agreed that it would be most efficient for said deposition to be completed before Plaintiff opposes the Motion for Summary Judgment.

The Parties request a forty-five day extension of time, up to and including, November 3, 2016, for Plaintiff to file its Opposition. This is the first extension of time requested by the Parties related to this Motion (ECF No. 47).

IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the parties that Plaintiff shall have up to and including November 3, 2016, to file its Opposition to Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment Regarding ERISA Preemption and Eligibility for Benefits (ECF No. 47).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
