(FIRST REQUEST)

RICHARD F. BOULWARE, II, District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the parties' counsel of record that Third-Party Defendants Lecia Barnum, Glenn Goodnough, and RubinBrown LLP will have a 2-week extension of time, up to and including February 9, 2018, to file their respective Replies to Third-Party Plaintiffs' Responses to their Motions to Dismiss the Amended Third-Party Complaint (ECF Nos. 74 and 75) and to Third-Party Plaintiffs' Responses to their Motions to Strike the Amended Third-Party Complaint (ECF Nos. 73 and 76), all currently due on January 26, 2018. Third-Party Defendants filed their respective Motions to Dismiss the Amended Third-Party Complaint (ECF Nos. 59, 63) and Motions to Strike the Amended Third-Party Complaint (ECF Nos. 60, 62) on December 15, 2017. Third-Party Plaintiffs filed their Response briefs on January 19, 2018 (ECF Nos. 73-76), pursuant to the agreed stipulations of the parties.

Third-Party Defendants request this extension of time based upon their workload and to give them sufficient time to prepare their replies. This is the first requested extension of the above-deadline.

This request will not prejudice any party or delay this proceeding, particularly given that discovery in this matter has been stayed pending the March 7, 2018 settlement conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED:
