STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND TO WELLS FARGO'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND SFR'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

(FIRST REQUEST)

LARRY R. HICKS, District Judge.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"), and Defendant SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC ("SFR"), by and through their respective counsel (collectively the "Parties"), for good cause shown, hereby stipulate and agree to an extension for SFR to submit its Response to Wells Fargo's Motion for Summary Judgment, and for Wells Fargo to submit its Response to SFR's Countermotion for Summary Judgment. Wells Fargo and SFR each filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on May 2, 2018 [ECF Nos. 44 and 48]. Accordingly, both Wells Fargo's and SFR's Responses to the corresponding motions are due May 23, 2018. The Parties request the Court extend the Parties' Response deadline to June 6, 2018. This is the Parties' first extension request.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1) and Local Rule 6-1, there exists good cause to grant this extension to respond for the following reasons:

1. This extension is sought both because the Parties and their counsel require additional time to meaningfully prepare and respond to the competing motions for summary judgment and to address the numerous arguments raised therein.

2. Wells Fargo's counsel has had issues with family illnesses since the time the motions were filed on May 2, 2018.

3 On May 17, 2018, Wells Fargo and SFR agreed to the extension requested herein to keep the briefing schedule on their simultaneous motions for summary judgment the same as between the two Parties.

4. This stipulated extension request is sought in good faith and is not made for the purpose of delay.

Therefore, Wells Fargo and SFR jointly agree for an extension to June 6, 2018, for SFR to file its Response to Wells Fargo's Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 44] and for Wells Fargo to file its Response to SFR's Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 48].
