STIPULATION FOR THIRD EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND
(Third Request for Extension of this Deadline; Third Overall Extension Request)
MIRANDA M. DU, District Judge.
Plaintiff My Health, Inc. ("My Health") and Defendant Intermountain Health Care, Inc. ("Intermountain") have stipulated to, and respectfully request that the Court enter an order providing for, a 60-day extension of the deadline for Intermountain to respond to My Health's complaint from April 30, 2015 to June 29, 2015. This is the third stipulation and request for an extension of this deadline and the third overall request for an extension in this case. The initial response deadline was February 5, 2015. Pursuant to two earlier stipulations of the parties, the Court entered two previous orders extending this deadline, first to March 16, 2015 (Dkt. 10) and then to April 30, 2015 (Dkt. 21).
After the Court granted the first and second extensions the parties have actively pursued good-faith negotiations to settle this dispute. Through counsel, the parties have discussed settlement terms in a series of communications and conferences, and the parties are confident that a final settlement can be reached before either party or the Court expends further substantial resources on the litigation of this dispute. But the parties have been unable to finalize an agreement before the existing April 30 response deadline due to scheduling conflicts and the need for individuals within each party to review and approve settlement terms.
The parties' agreed-upon third extension promotes judicial economy and ultimately the interests of justice by providing additional time to facilitate settlement before the parties and Court devote additional resources to the litigation of this matter. The agreed-upon extension should not unduly delay the litigation of this matter and, it is expected, should enable the parties to efficiently resolve this matter out of court. Accordingly, a third extension of the deadline for Intermountain to respond to My Health's complaint to June 29, 2015 is warranted.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
