STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING THE TIME FOR DEFENDANT EVEREST NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY TO FILE ITS RESPONSE TO LEXINGTON'S MOTION TO DISMISS EVEREST'S CROSS-CLAIM AND FOR DEFENDAND LEXINGTON TO FILE ITS REPLY

(FIRST REQUEST)

JENNIFER A. DORSEY, District Judge.

Presently pending before this court is the motion (ECF #61) filed on February 9, 2017 on behalf of defendant Lexington Insurance Company (hereinafter "Lexington") to dismiss the cross-claim (ECF #51) of Everest National Insurance Company (hereinafter "Everest"). Currently Everest's response to Lexington's motion is due by February 27, 2017.

Counsel for Lexington and counsel for Everest have agreed that the time for Everest to respond to Lexington's motion be extended until March 3, 2017 and Lexington's time to reply to said response be extended until March 15, 2017.

It is requested that the court grant the extension of time until March 3, 2017 for Everest to file its response to Lexington's motion and grant the extension of time until March 15, 2017 for Lexington to file its reply to Everest's response.

The reason for this extension of time is to allow adequate time to prepare the response and reply briefs because of the pre-planned vacation of counsel for Everest during the President's Day holiday and the temporary absence of personnel assisting counsel for Lexington in this matter.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED, defendant Everest National Insurance Company's response to Lexington Insurance Company's motion to dismiss its cross-claim is due on or before March 3, 2017, and Lexington's reply to said response is due on or before March 15, 2017.
