ORDER APPROVING
ANN R. TRAUM, U.S. DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
STIPULATION FOR ADDITIONAL TIME TO FILE DISMISSAL (Second Request)
COME NOW Plaintiff LORA JOLLIFF and Defendants NEVADA CVS PHARMACY, LLC, CVS HEALTH SOLUTIONS, LLC and CVS PHARMACY, INC., by and through their respective counsel of record, and request an additional 30 days to submit the Stipulation and Order for Dismissal With Prejudice.
The parties reached a confidential settlement agreement and filed a joint Notice of Settlement on November 30, 2022. (Doc. 62). Thereafter, Judge Traum issued a Minute Order requiring that the Stipulation and Order for Dismissal, With Prejudice, be submitted on or before January 30, 2023. On February 22, 2023, the court approved the parties' stipulation to extend this deadline to April 3, 2023. (Doc. 67). As Plaintiff is Medicare eligible, the parties require a final confirmation from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to confirm that no conditional payments were made on behalf of Plaintiff related to the incident that was the subject of Plaintiff's Complaint before Defendants can release the settlement funds. According to the Medicare Secondary Payer Recovery Portal, the final correspondence was mailed on February 9, 2023. This correspondence has not yet been received by Plaintiff or her counsel and no further updates have been provided on the portal. The parties therefore require additional time to submit the Stipulation and Order for Dismissal, With Prejudice. Once this confirmation has been provided to Defendants, the settlement funds will be released.
Based on the foregoing, the parties respectfully request that they be permitted an additional 30 days, to May 3, 2023, to submit the final Stipulation and Order for Dismissal, With Prejudice. Dated this 29th day of March 2023. Dated this 30th day of March 2023
ORDER ALLOWING ADDITIONAL TIME TO FILE STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR DISMISSAL, WITH PREJUDICE
Based upon the foregoing representations of counsel, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties are permitted an additional 30 days, to May 3, 2023, to submit the final Stipulation and Order for Dismissal, With Prejudice.
