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

[Fourth 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 29, 2019.

USB filed its Complaint on or about October 8, 2018, and the Association was served on or about October 16, 2018. USB and the Association (collectively referred to as the "Parties") have filed three previous Stipulations and Orders to Extend Deadline for Sunrise Villas Condominium Homeowners Association to Respond to Complaint ("SAO") on October 24, 2018 (see Doc# 6), on November 18, 2018 (see Doc# 8), and on December 10, 2018 (see Doc# 10). The Court granted each of the above-referenced SAOs and entered the accompanying Orders on October 25, 2018 (see Doc# 7), on November 27, 2018 (see Doc# 9), and on December 12, 2018 (see Doc# 11). Pursuant to the last Order Granting SAO (Doc# 11), the current deadline for the Association to file its response to USB's Complaint is January 7, 2019.

The Parties stipulate and agree to extend the deadline for the Association to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint through January 29, 2019. Settlement negotiations have been continuing in good faith and offers have been made but due to the recent holiday season where the parties and undersigned counsel were out of town, negotiations have been delayed more than originally anticipated but have resumed and continue to proceed in good faith. The undersigned are genuinely attempting to settle this matter without incurring further fees and costs to their respective clients or burdening the judicial resources of this Court. Therefore, good cause exists for a fourth extension to allow time for counsel to review, analyze, negotiate and confer, as needed, with their respective clients to secure a settlement. This fourth request for an extension of time with respect to this matter is not intended to cause delay or prejudice to any party.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.
