STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINES

(THIRD REQUEST)

C.W. HOFFMAN, JR., Magistrate Judge.

Defendant Aetna Life Insurance Company and Plaintiff Sondra Williamson hereby jointly stipulate and move for an order amending the Court's Scheduling Order (ECF 8) pursuant to LR 26-4. This request is made in the interest of justice, in order to correct an error made by the defendant's counsel in production of the ERISA Administrative Record before the briefing commences.

I. Discovery Completed/Remaining

This Court entered its Scheduling Order on December 21, 2017. (ECF 8). In accordance with the schedule, Aetna's counsel produced a copy of the ERISA Administrative Record to Williamson's counsel on January 15, 2018. Also in accordance with the schedule, Aetna filed a copy of the Administrative Record with the Court on April 4, 2018. (ECF 12). The original briefing schedule was adjusted slightly. (ECF 10, 14).

II. Reason for Request for Extension

Aetna's counsel has recently become aware that, due to a mistake by counsel, the ERISA Administrative Record produced to Williamson's counsel was substantially incomplete. The same incomplete record was filed with the Court. Aetna's counsel notified Williamson's counsel of the error.

III. Proposed Discovery Schedule

The parties now request that in order to ensure that Williamson's counsel and the Court have access to the complete Administrative Record, the Scheduling Order be amended as follows:

The undersigned represent to the Court that this request for extension is made in good faith and not for purposes of delay.

Accordingly, the parties jointly request the Court to adopt the proposed scheduling deadlines as indicated above.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
