Pursuant to the Parties' Agreement, the deadline for Motorola and MetLife to file their respective responses to Plaintiff's Complaint will be continued from March 7, 2016 to April 4, 2016. In support of this Stipulation, the Parties agree and stipulate as follows:

3. Motorola was served with the Summons and Complaint in this action on July 21, 2015.
4. 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, 20, 25, 29, 37, 39, 42.) Where required, the Court granted each of these stipulations. (See ECF Doc. Nos. 22, 28, 31, 38, 40, 43.)
5. The Parties submitted stipulations extending the deadline for Motorola to respond to the Complaint to facilitate on-going settlement discussions (See ECF Doc. Nos. 13, 21, 24, 30, 37, 39, 42.)
