Re: Phillips v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.,
D. Del., Civil Action No. 07—cv—00056—SLR
Dear Judge Robinson:
This office represents Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("l\/IetLife") in the above-captioned
matter. MetLife has contemporaneously filed its Second Proposed Stipulated Order Extending Time To
File Answer Or Other Responsive Pleading (the "Stipulation"), a copy of which is enclosed.
The parties in this case have agreed to a second and final thirty-day extension of time for MetLife
to answer, plead or otherwise move in response to the Complaint filed on January 29, 2007 and served on
February 2, 2007. The extension requires MetLife to answer, plead or otherwise move no later than April
23, 2007. The parties have been actively discussing a settlement ofthis matter and MetLife believes that
a settlement will be reached prior to April 23. Accordingly, MetLife respectfully requests that the Court
enter the Stipulation as an order ofthe Court.
Sincerely,
/s/ Phillip T. Mellet
