STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING TIME TO FILE A RESPONSIVE PLEADING TO ST. PAUL FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY'S THIRD PARTY COMPLAINT [FIRST REQUEST]

CAM FERENBACH, Magistrate Judge.

Defendant and Third-Party Plaintiff ST. PAUL FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY ("St. Paul") and Third-Party Defendant PROBUILDERS SPECIALTY INSURANCE COMPANY RRG, A RISK RETENTION GROUP ("Probuilders") hereby agree and stipulate to extend the deadline for Probuilders to answer or otherwise respond to the Third-Party Complaint from January 11, 2018, to February 2, 2018. This is the first request to extend this particular deadline.

On November 13, 2017, St. Paul filed its Third-Party Complaint naming Probuilders and several other entities as defendants. ECF No. 38. The Summons and Complaint were served on Probuilders on December 21, 2017, via the Nevada Department of Business and Industry — Division of Insurance. ECF No. 58. Therefore, pursuant to Rule 12(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Probuilders' response to the Third-Party Complaint was originally due on January 11, 2018.

This extension of time is necessary because, due to now resolved conflict issues, counsel for Probuilders was only recently retained. Probuilders and St. Paul are currently attempting to resolve the claims raised by the Third-Party Complaint against Probuilders before incurring additional litigation costs. A case management order has not yet been entered, thus this stipulation to extend Probuilders' time to respond to the Third-Party Complaint will not affect any current deadlines in this action. This stipulation is entered into in good faith and is not intended to unduly delay the proceedings.

Accordingly, the parties request that an order be entered extending the deadline for Probuilders to respond to the Third-Party Complaint from January 11, 2018, to February 2, 2018.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.
