STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR SUNRISE VILLAS CONDOMINIUM HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

[Third Request]

CARLA BALDWIN CARRY, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between Plaintiff, U.S. Bank Trust, N.A., as Trustee, for LSF8 Master Participation Trust ("USB"), by and through its counsel, Wright, Finlay & Zak, LLP, and Defendant, Sunrise Villas Condominium Homeowners Association (the "Association"), by and through its counsel Leach Kern Gruchow Anderson Song, to extend the deadline for the Association to answer or otherwise respond to USB's Complaint up-to-and-including January 7, 2019.

USB filed its Complaint on or about October 8, 2018, and the Association was served on or about October 16, 2018. Per stipulated extensions approved by the Court (DE 7 and DE 9), the current deadline for the Association to file its response to the Complaint is December 10, 2018.

USB and the Association (collectively referred to as the "Parties") stipulate and agree to extend the deadline for the Association to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint up-to-and-including January 7, 2019. The Association tendered this matter to its insurance carrier and has only been advised this week that the tender has been denied. In addition, counsel for the Parties are engaged in good faith settlement discussions; offers have been exchanged. Association counsel must continue to confer with the Association's volunteer Board regarding settlement authority. Given the upcoming holiday season, the Board is not scheduled to meet again until on or about January 3, 2019. As such, obtaining additional authority, if necessary, from a volunteer board may be logistically difficult. Therefore, good cause exists for a third extension to allow time for counsel to negotiate and confer, as needed, with their respective clients throughout the holiday season.

This is the third request for an extension of time with respect to this matter and is not intended to cause delay or prejudice to any party.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
