STIPULATION TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE RESPONSIVE PLEADING

(FIRST REQUEST)

NANCY J. KOPPE, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff, Susan R. Evenson ("Plaintiff"), and Defendant, Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. ("SPS") (collectively the "Parties"), by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

On June 25, 2018, Plaintiff filed her Complaint [ECF No. 1]. SPS was served with Plaintiff's Complaint on June 26, 2018. The Parties have discussed extending the deadline for SPS to respond to the complaint. Based on the above service, SPS's answer or responsive pleading would have been due on or before July 23, 2018. However, SPS's counsel did not become aware of the service date until July 26, 2018. When SPS's counsel became aware of the service date, it immediately contacted Plaintiff's counsel, who agreed to an extension of time for SPS to respond to the Complaint. The parties request that the Court take this into consideration as excusable neglect for their failure to submit a stipulation prior to the response deadline.

WHEREAS, the Parties hereby stipulate and agree to extend the deadline for SPS to file its responsive pleading to August 9, 2018.

This is the first stipulation for extension of time for SPS to file its response to Plaintiff's Complaint. The parties request this extension in order to explore the claims of the case and discuss possible resolution. The extension is requested in good faith and is not for purposes of delay or prejudice to any other party.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
