KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.

TO: ALL PARTIES HEREIN AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiff LUCINDA RAST ("Plaintiff") and Defendants METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY and SUTTER HEALTH LONG TERM DISABILITY PLAN ("Defendants") (collectively, the "Parties") through their respective attorneys of record as follows:

1. The Parties have met and conferred and, by and through counsel, hereby stipulate and agree to a continuance of the hearing date from the currently scheduled hearing date of May 18, 2017 to Thursday, June 1, 2017, or as the Court may allow;

2. The Parties, by and through counsel, hereby further stipulate and agree that the Joint Statement Re: Discovery Disagreement with accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities to be filed seven (7) days prior to the original hearing date shall be due per code based on the new hearing date of June 1, 2017;

3. No other deadlines in this action will be altered by this stipulation.

GOOD CAUSE

Good Cause exists for the requested continuance. The parties continue to discuss the possibility of a stipulation regarding the nature of the documents Plaintiff seeks, which would otherwise obviate the need for Plaintiff's motion to compel. While those negotiations continue, the parties agreed to postpone the hearing date to avoid further briefing.

The change will not alter any other date or event already fixed by Court Order.

This document is being electronically filed through the Court's ECF System. In this regard, counsel for Plaintiff hereby attests that (1) the content of this document is acceptable to all persons required to sign the document; (2) Defendants' counsel has concurred with the filing of this document; and (3) a record supporting this concurrence is available for inspection or production if so ordered.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
