UNOPPOSED MOTION AND PROPOSED ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO ANSWER OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT

JAMES L. ROBART, District Judge.

Defendant, The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential"), by and through its attorneys, moves this Court for an Order extending the time for Prudential to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint. The answer is currently due March 29, 2017. Plaintiff, Stephanie Ross, does not oppose this motion. Defendant respectfully requests an extension of time to answer or otherwise respond of 14 days until April 12, 2017.

In support of its unopposed motion, Prudential states as follows:

1. On February 28, 2017, Plaintiff filed this action in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, and Prudential was served on March 8, 2017 through the Washington Insurance Commissioner.

2. Prudential began promptly collecting and reviewing the relevant file documents in order to prepare a response to Plaintiff's Complaint, but requests additional time of 14 days to complete its investigation and prepare its response.

3. On March 27, 2017, counsel for Defendant conferred with counsel for Plaintiff regarding the request for an extension of fourteen (14) days to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's Complaint. Plaintiff's counsel indicated that Plaintiff does not oppose this request.

4. This motion is filed before the response to the Complaint is due and is filed in good faith and not for the purpose of unwarranted delay.

WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that the Court issue an order granting Defendant an additional fourteen (14) days, until April 12, 2017, to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's Complaint.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED. The deadline for Prudential to answer or otherwise respond to the plaintiff's complaint is extended until April 12, 2017.
