Stipulation and Order for Extension of Time to File Answering Brief (Third Request)

Bankruptcy Case No. 11-14974-mkn

MIRANDA M. DU, District Judge.

The parties stipulate as follows:

1. On April 30, 2018, the Court entered a Stipulation and Order for Extension of Time to File Answering Brief because the parties were engaged in new settlement discussions and to accommodate counsel for R & S St. Rose Lenders, LLC Liquidation Trust who had a family emergency. (ECF No. 33.) The order required the appellees to file an answering brief on or before May 2, 2018. (See id.)

2. The parties stipulate to further extend the time for the appellees to file an answering brief to May 4, 2018.

3. The reason for the requested extension is two-fold. First, to enable the parties to continue the settlement discussions, which are on-going. Second, special counsel for Appellee R & S St. Rose Lenders, LLC, who is drafting the answering brief, needed a bit more time after the family emergency than he anticipated to finish the brief and appendix.

4. To enable the parties to engage in further settlement negotiations and accommodate counsel's family emergency, the parties stipulate that the appellees shall have up to and including May 4, 2018, to file their answering brief. The appellant shall then have up to and including May 18, 2018, to file any reply brief.

5. The parties have not entered into this stipulation for any purpose of delay.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
