STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR GAYLE A. KERN, LTD. DBA KERN & ASSOCIATES, LTD. TO ANSWER OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

[Third Request]

VALERIE P. COOKE, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between Plaintiff, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-1 ("Plaintiff"), by and through its counsel, Snell & Wilmer LLP, and Defendant, Gayle A. Kern, Ltd. dba Kern & Associates, Ltd. ("Kern"), by and through its counsel Kern & Associates, Ltd., to extend the deadline for Kern to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's Complaint on or before January 19, 2018.

Plaintiff filed its Complaint on or about August 24, 2017, and Kern was served on or about October 18, 2017. By virtue of a prior extension, the current deadline for Kern to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint is on December 22, 2017.

Plaintiff and Kern (collectively referred to as the "Parties") stipulate and agree to extend the deadline for Kern to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint on or before January 19, 2018. Counsel for the Parties continue to communicate in good faith and believe they have reached agreements on the majority of the issues between them. However, due to varying holiday schedules of the Parties and/or counsel, the Parties are unable to resolve the remaining issues and file the necessary documents as contemplated by the current December 22, 2017 deadline. In a continued effort to conserve the time and resources of the Parties and the Court, this third extension is requested. Good cause exists for the extension, which is not intended to cause delay or prejudice to any party.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.
