STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR CENTEX HOMES TO FILE REPLY BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF ITS MOTION TO DISMISS UNIONAMERICA INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED'S COUNTERCLAIM PURSUANT TO FRCP 12(b)(6)

(First Request)

JAMES C. MAHAN, District Judge.

Plaintiff Centex Homes ("Centex"), by and through its counsel of record, Sarah J. Odia, of Payne & Fears LLP, and Defendant Unionamerica Insurance Company Limited, as successor-in-interest to St. Paul Reinsurance Company Limited ("Unionamerica"), by and through its counsel of record, Chad C. Butterfield, Esq., of Wilson, Elser, Moskowitz, Edelman & Dicker LLP, hereby stipulate and agree to extend the deadline for Centex to file a reply brief in support of its Motion to Dismiss Unionamerica's Counterclaim Pursuant to FRCP 12(b)(6) (the "Counterclaim"), filed on November 30, 2016 (ECF 26), from January 6, 2017 to January 13, 2017.

Per Local Rule IA 6-1, this is the first request to the Court for an extension of Centex's deadline to file a reply brief in support of its Motion to Dismiss the Counterclaim. The extension is requested in order to provide sufficient time to research and brief the issues set forth in the Counterclaim, and to allow time for client input. The requested extension is short, as the parties are seeking to extend the deadline by one week, so it will not unduly delay or impact the case.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED: Centex Homes' reply brief in support of its Motion to Dismiss Unionamerica's Counterclaim is due on or before January 13, 2017.
