STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR RESPONSIVE PLEADINGS

ROBERT S. LASNIK, District Judge.

I. STIPULATION

Pursuant to LCR 7(j), Defendant DPI Specialty Foods, Inc. ("Defendant") and Plaintiff Northwest Administrators, Inc. ("Plaintiff") (collectively "the Parties"), by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate and move this Court for an order extending the deadline for Defendant to file responsive pleadings under Fed. R. Civ. P. 81 until August 30, 2018.

The parties stipulate that good cause exists under both Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b) and LCR 10(g), to extend the deadline for Defendant to answer Plaintiff's Complaint to August 30, 2018 because the Parties are nearing a resolution of this matter that will obviate any further proceedings. Specifically, this action concerns delinquent trust fund contributions and, pursuant to recent informal discussions between the Parties, some of the delinquent contributions have been made by Defendant to Plaintiff. The Parties are discussing the appropriate allocation of the recently disbursed funds pursuant to the pension trust fund's direction and, once all delinquent contributions and attendant amounts have been paid, this matter will be resolved.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE FOR RESPONSIVE PLEADINGS

This matter came regularly before the Court through the stipulation filed by the Parties above. The Court, having considered the stipulation and the facts described therein, finds good cause for a continuance and hereby ORDERS as follows:

1. Defendant may file its responsive pleadings on or before August 30, 2018.
