Re: Phillips v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.,
A D. Del., Civil Action No. 07-cv-00056-SLR
Dear Judge Robinson:
This office represents Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife") in the above-captioned
matter. MetLife has contemporaneously filed a 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 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 Met Life to answer, plead or otherwise move no later than March 23, 2007.
MetLife believes that an extension will permit it to more fully investigate the issues and to analyze the
merits of any claims which may ultimately promote judicial economy and result in the reduction of
litigation costs. To this end, MetLife respectfully requests that the Court enter the Stipulation as an order
of the Court.
