MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.

STIPULATION

Defendant Bank of America, N.A. ("Defendant") and Plaintiff Jesse N. Pugh ("Plaintiff"), by and through their respective counsel of record hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

1. Plaintiff filed his Complaint in this action on August 7, 2013.

2. Plaintiff and Defendant previously stipulated to one extension of time for Defendant to respond to the Complaint until September 20, 2013.

3. In order to allow time for the parties to engage in good faith settlement negotiations, including a possible loan modification review, reduce the costs of litigation for all parties, and unburden the Court's docket, Plaintiff and Defendant agree and stipulate that Defendant's deadline to file a responsive pleading to Plaintiff's Complaint shall be extended until and including October 2, 2013.

4. This stipulated extension will not result in prejudice to any party and its impact on judicial proceedings is not expected to be significant.

5. This change will not alter the date of any event or any deadline already fixed by Court order.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

Having reviewed the stipulation of Plaintiff JESSE N. PUGH and Defendant BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., and good cause appearing, the deadline for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint is extended to October 2, 2013.
