JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.

Plaintiffs and Counterdefendants ST. PAUL FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY and ST. PAUL MERCURY INSURANCE COMPANY ("Plaintiffs") and Defendant and Counterclaimant LENNAR RENAISSANCE, INC. ("Defendant") (collectively, the "Parties"), by and through counsel and pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6 and Local Rule 144, hereby stipulate to an additional 21-day extension of time for Plaintiffs to file and serve a response to the Counterclaim filed by Defendant in this action and a 21-day extension of time for the Parties to serve their initial disclosures as set forth below:

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs filed the Complaint on June 14, 2013;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs served Defendant with the Complaint on June 19, 2013;

WHEREAS, the Parties agreed and stipulated to extend that response date by 28 days to August 7, 2013 and this Court ordered that extension on July 3, 2013; WHEREAS, Defendant filed an Answer and Counterclaim on August 7, 2013;

WHEREAS, the Parties agreed and stipulated to extend Plaintiffs' deadline to file and serve a response to Defendant's Counterclaim ("Response Deadline") by 28 days to October 1, 2013; and this Court ordered that extension on August 29, 2013;

WHEREAS, the Parties agreed and stipulated to extend the date to serve initial disclosures ("Disclosures Deadline") by 8 days to October 1, 2013; and this Court ordered that extension on August 29, 2013;

WHEREAS, the Parties agreed and stipulated to extend Plaintiff's Response Deadline and initial disclosures by an additional 21 days to October 22, 2013; and this Court ordered that extension on September 25, 2013;

WHEREAS, the Parties now agree and stipulate to extend the Disclosures Deadline and the Response Deadline by an additional 21 days to November 12, 2013;

WHEREAS, there is good cause for these extensions of time because the parties are actively and meaningfully discussing settlement; the parties are making significant strides to resolving their disputes and anticipate concluding their settlement discussions within the next 2-weeks; and the extensions will permit them to do so without filing unnecessary pleadings and/or other documents with the Court and without preparing and serving unnecessary documents upon each other; and

WHEREAS, there has been only three previous extensions of time in this action, as ordered by the Court on July 3, 2013, August 29, 2013 and September 25, 2013, and it appears that no prejudice will result from the extensions requested herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree and stipulate to extensions of time up to and including November 12, 2013 for Plaintiffs to file and serve a response to the Counterclaim in this action and for the Parties to serve their initial disclosures. DATED: October 18, 2013 THE AGUILERA LAW GROUP, APLC

IT IS SO ORDERED.
