RICHARD F. BOULWARE, District Judge.

T.H.E. Insurance Company ("T.H.E.") moves the court for additional time in which to submit a reply memorandum supporting its Motion to Strike the Answer of Defendant Las Vegas Carriage ("LVC") and submit a response to LVC's Motion to Set Aside Default. Pursuant to LR 6-1(d), T.H.E. notifies the Court that LVC's opposition to T.H.E.'s motion to Strike LVC's Answer was filed on October 12, 2015 and LVC's Motion to Set Aside Default was filed on October 14, 2015. The first motion for extension of time was filed on October 22, 2015.

T.H.E. has been investigating allegations that LVC has raised in its pleadings and the supporting declaration of witness Stephen Smith. T.H.E. is in the process of obtaining additional information and potentially a declaration from attorney Douglas Gardner who was retained by T.H.E. to represent LVC in a personal injury action currently pending in the Clark County, Nevada Eighth Judicial Court ("Personal Injury Suit"). T.H.E. also requests additional time in which to obtain a declaration supporting its memoranda in this matter.

On information and belief, Stephen Smith gave deposition testimony on November 12, 2015 in the personal injury suit. It is believed that Mr. Smith's testimony will be relevant to T.H.E.'s analysis of Mr. Smith's apparent authority to act for LVC in legal matters. A transcript of the deposition is not yet available. Moreover, it will take some time to obtain a declaration from witness Douglas Gardner to clarify what statements were made and what evidence is available to the court in this case. T.H.E. is investigating Mr. Smith's purported authority to act for LVC and the statements Mr. Smith attributed to Mr. Gardner.

This motion is not made for the purpose of delay or obstruction, but rather, is made to obtain a deposition transcript, a declaration and other evidence related to the pending motions in this case. (See Declaration, attached hereto as Exhibit 1). Therefore, T.H.E. requests 30 additional days in which to submit a reply memorandum supporting its Motion to Strike Las Vegas Carriage's Answer and a response to LVC's Motion to Set Aside Default and a due date for such reply memorandum and response memorandum of: December 23, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Exhibit 1

1. I am over the age of 18 years and competent to testify to the following matters, based on my personal knowledge.

2. I am a member of Gust Rosenfeld and represent T.H.E. Insurance Company in this matter.

3. The complaint in this matter was filed to pursue declaratory relief related to coverage under an insurance policy issued to Las Vegas Carriage, LLC ("LVC").

4. I have investigated the alleged statements made in the declaration supporting LVC's Opposition to Plaintiffs Motion To Strike LVC's Answer (Doc #25).

5. The investigation in this matter includes a review of the transcript of the deposition testimony given by Stephen Smith in a lawsuit against LVC. That transcript is not yet available.

6. The investigation in this matter also includes T.H.E.'s request for a declaration from attorney Douglas Gardner concerning the statements attributed to Mr. Gardner in Stephen Smith's declaration.

7. Therefore, I filed a second request for an extension of time in which to produce any available evidence to the court in briefing on the motions pending before the court.

Executed on this 18th day of November, 2015.

William S. Sowders, Esq.
