STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR RESPONSIVE PLEADING
ROBERT S. LASNIK, District Judge.
Pursuant to the order entered by this Court on the stipulation between Plaintiff MAPLE LEAF HOUSING, INVESTMENTS, LLC's ("Plaintiff") and Defendant TEXACO DOWNSTREAM PROPERTIES INC. ("Defendant"), Defendant's responsive pleading is due March 22, 2019. See, Dkt. # 27. Plaintiff and Defendant now jointly move under FRCP 6(b) for an additional 7-day extension of Defendant's deadline to file a responsive pleading to March 29, 2019, to allow an agreement resolving several of Plaintiff's claims to be executed.
As previously reported to the Court, Dkt. # 26, Plaintiff and Defendant have reached an agreement to resolve issues raised in Defendant's November 30, 2018, meet and confer correspondence ("Meet and Confer Correspondence"). Further, the parties agreed, subject to the Court's approval, to stay all litigation deadlines and activities for 120 days while an environmental investigation is jointly undertaken at Plaintiff's property (the "Agreement"). The counsel for the parties recently finalized the settlement document in connection with the Agreement and are in the process of obtaining client signatures for the settlement document.
Pursuant to FRCP Rule 6(b), the Court may, for good cause, extend the time for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint. There is good cause for granting an extension because Plaintiff and Defendant require additional time to execute the final settlement document. The parties jointly request a 7-day extension of Defendant's deadline to file a responsive pleading to allow the parties to: (1) execute their settlement document, and (2) present to this Court the stipulated order necessary to stay the subject litigation and related deadlines while an environmental investigation is jointly undertaken at Plaintiff's property.
Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff and Defendant jointly request that the Court issue an order extending the deadlines for Defendant's responsive pleading seven days to March 29, 2019.
IT IS SO STIPULATED THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD
I attest that concurrence in the filing of this document has been obtained from David F. Stearns, counsel for Maple Leaf Housing Investments, LLC.
ORDER
The deadlines in this case are hereby extended as follows:
Defendant's responsive pleading shall be filed no later than March 29, 2019.
PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
