STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DATE BY WHICH HIGHLAND RANCH HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION SHALL HAVE TO ANSWER OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

(SECOND REQUEST)

VALERIE P. COOKE, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff, Nationstar Mortgage, LLC ("Nationstar") and Defendant, Highland Ranch Homeowners Association ("Highland Ranch"), by and through their respective counsel, stipulate as follows:

Nationstar filed a Complaint on November 7, 2016, therein naming Highland Ranch Ravenstar Investments, LLC ("Ravenstar"), and other Defendants. (ECF No. 1.) On March 23, 2017, the Court entered an order staying this case based on a stipulation filed by the parties. (ECF No. 45.) Under the terms of the order (ECF No. 45), all pending motions, including Highland Ranch's motion to dismiss Nationstar's claims (ECF No. 19), were deemed withdrawn, subject to re-filing after the stay was lifted. On August 15, 2017, the Court lifted the stay in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's denial of writ of certiorari in Bourne Valley Court Trust v. Wells Fargo, N.A. (ECF No. 50).

Shortly after the stay was lifted, the parties discovered Ravenstar filed for bankruptcy. Thereafter, on September 12, 2017, Ravenstar filed a notice of bankruptcy (ECF No. 52). On September 20, 2017, Nationstar filed a status report to address the bankruptcy issues (ECF No. 55). On October 3, 2017, Highland Ranch filed a request for status conference to address the bankruptcy issues (ECF No. 58). A status conference has not yet been scheduled. To allow the parties to further assess the impact of Ravenstar's bankruptcy (and the related automatic stay) on Highland Ranch HOA's response to Nationstar's Complaint, the parties filed a stipulation (ECF No. 60) to extend the time for Highland Ranch's response to the Complaint until November 10, 2017 (ECF No. 1). On October 13, 2017, the Court granted the stipulation for extension (ECF No. 61).

The parties are still investigating the status of the bankruptcy proceedings and understand there is briefing pending in those proceedings that may further impact the claims pending in this case. To allow for this continuing investigation, the parties stipulate to allow Highland Ranch an additional forty days, or until December 20, 2017, to answer or other response to Nationstar's Complaint (ECF No. 1). In light of the bankruptcy issues, good cause exists to extend the time for Highland Ranch's response. Subsequent to the lifting of the stay, the Court granted one prior extension for Highland Ranch's response to Nationstar's Complaint (ECF No. 61).

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
