STIPULATED MOTION BETWEEN PLAINTIFF PUGET SOUND SURGICAL CENTER P.S. AND DEFENDANT SOUND HEALTH AND WELLNESS TRUST PLAN TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE A RESPONSIVE PLEADING AND ORDER

JAMES L. ROBART, District Judge.

I. STIPULATION

Defendant SOUND HEALTH AND WELLNESS TRUST PLAN ("Sound Health") and Plaintiff PUGET SOUND SURGICAL CENTER P.S. ("Plaintiff"), hereby stipulate and jointly move the Court pursuant to Local Civil Rule 10(g) for an Order granting Sound Health the same time to file an answer, motion, or other responsive pleading under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12 that the Court provided to certain defendants in its October 30, 2017 Order Granting Defendants' Motion to Extend Time to File a Responsive Pleading (Docket No. 25). Defendant Sound Health has good cause to request this extension pursuant to LCR 10(g) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b) to: (i) permit Sound Health to coordinate with the other defendants who have similar interests in filing responsive pleadings; and (ii) avoid duplicative filings. Plaintiff will not suffer any prejudice from this request and has agreed to the extension.

II. ORDER

Based on the Stipulation of Defendant SOUND HEALTH AND WELLNESS TRUST PLAN ("Sound Health") and Plaintiff PUGET SOUND SURGICAL CENTER P.S. ("Plaintiff"), the Court hereby extends the time for Sound Health to file an answer, motion, or other responsive pleading under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12 to 21 days after service of the last defendant named in this proceeding.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
