STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER

DISMISSAL OF ACTION
By Order dated December 12, 2012 (ECF No. 42), the Court adopted the amended findings and recommendations granting in part Plaintiff's motion for approval of the settlement in this action. The Court further ordered that the parties dismiss this action in its entirety by January 18, 2013. Following the Court's approval, the United States Attorney's Office obtained authorization from the Attorney General's designee to consummate the settlement, and the settlement funds were transferred from the United States Treasury to the designated annuity broker on January 14, 2013. The parties now stipulate and agree, and respectfully request that the Court order, that the deadline for dismissal be extended by five (5) business days, to January 28, 2013, in order to allow for final disbursement of the settlement funds and dismissal of this action with prejudice.
Respectfully submitted,
BENJAMIN B. WAGNER
