STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE PROPOSED STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR DISMISSAL OF THE GARDNER DEFENDANTS' CLAIMS
(SECOND REQUEST)
CAM FERENBACH, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
Plaintiffs, CENTURY-NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY, PACIFIC PIONEER INSURANCE GROUP, INC., PACIFIC PIONEER INSURANCE COMPANY, and UCA GENERAL INSURANCE SERVICES (“Plaintiffs') and Defendants, DOUGLAS J. GARDNER, ESQ., DOUGLAS J. GARDNER, LTD, and RANDS & SOUTH, LTD. (“Gardner Defendants”), by and through their respective counsel, hereby agree and stipulate as follows:
Whereas, at the Settlement Conference held on August 24, 2022 before Magistrate Judge Cam Ferenbach, the parties agreed that the claims between Plaintiffs and the Gardner Defendants have settled, while the remaining claims will proceed on the normal litigation track.
Whereas, the Court initially ordered that the proposed stipulation and order for dismissal of the Gardner claims must be filed on or before September 28, 2022.
Whereas, on September 28, 2022 and pursuant to the Stipulation between Plaintiffs and the Gardner Defendants, the Court issued an Order to Extend Time to File Proposed Stipulation and Order for Dismissal of the Gardner Defendants' Claims up to October 12, 2022.
Whereas, due to the need for additional time to thresh out certain matters and fully finalize the terms of the settlement agreement among themselves, Plaintiffs and the Gardner Defendants have again agreed to request the Court for extension of time of additional fourteen (14) days from the current deadline, to file their proposed stipulation and order for dismissal of the Gardner claims.
WHEREFORE, it is hereby AGREED AND STIPULATED TO by and between Plaintiffs and the Gardner Defendants that the submission of the proposed stipulation and order for dismissal of the Gardner claims shall be extended for another period of fourteen (14) days from its current due date of October 12, 2022, to Wednesday, October 26, 2022.
This is the parties' second request for extension and is their way of accommodating each other. The parties certify that this Stipulation is made in good faith and is not sought for the purpose of undue delay or to cause prejudice to any party.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
