STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE REPLY IN SUPPORT OF FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

(FIRST REQUEST)

JAMES C. MAHAN, District Judge.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), Collegium Fund LLC, Series 32 ("Collegium Fund"), Absolute Collection Services, LLC ("ACS"), and Nuevo Vista Homeowners Association, Inc. (the "HOA"), by and through their respective counsel, hereby respectfully request that the Court enter an order, pursuant to Local Rules 6-1 and 7-1, extending the time for Freddie Mac to file a reply in support of its Motion for Summary Judgment (the "MSJ") filed by Freddie Mac on January 17, 2017 [ECF No. 26] and joined by Wells Fargo on January 20, 2017 [ECF No. 29]. The reply in support of the MSJ is currently due on May 5, 2017. The Parties have agreed to extend this response date to May 26, 2017.

The extension is being sought in good faith and will not unduly delay this litigation. Collegium Fund filed its opposition to the MSJ on April 18, 2017 under seal. The opposition is roughly 30 pages and raises a number of issues. Freddie Mac is in need of additional time to review and respond to the opposition filed by Collegium Fund. Given the volume of litigation related to the HOA foreclosures and the issues raised by the opposition, the standard two week reply deadline will not offer sufficient time for a Freddie Mac to present its reply. The requested extension will give Freddie Mac three weeks additional weeks to prepare the reply, which is commensurate with the extensions the Parties agreed to for the oppositions to the MSJ.

Accordingly, the Parties respectfully request that the Court grant this Stipulation and extend the time to file a reply in support of the MSJ from May 5, 2017 to May 26, 2017.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
