ORDER RE: STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND TO THE COMPLAINT [Local Rule 144(a)] Current Response Dates: 5/30/13 & 6/3/13 New Response 1 ORDER RE: STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND TO THE COMPLAINT
BARBARA A. McAULIFFE, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Travelers Property Casualty Company of America ("Travelers") and Defendant UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYD'S LONDON ("Underwriters"), by and through their counsel and pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1)(A) and Local Rule 144(a), hereby stipulate to an 28-day extension of time to respond to Travelers' Complaint in this matter.
Travelers filed this action on April 19, 2013. Underwriters was served with the Complaint on May 9, 2013. Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 12(a)(1)(A)(i), Underwriters is required to respond to the Complaint on or before May 30, 2013. Pursuant to Eastern District Local Rule 144(a), the Parties stipulate and agree to extend these dates for 28-days to June 28, 2013. Good cause exists for this extension to allow Underwriters time to obtain their policies and claim files, if any, prior to responding to the Complaint. There have been no prior extensions of time for Underwriters to respond to the Complaint, and because the Complaint was recently filed, there appears to be no prejudice extending the time for Underwriters to respond to the Complaint.
WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the parties stipulate that Underwriters shall have up to and including June 28, 2013 to answer or otherwise respond to Travelers' Complaint.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
