STIPULATION EXTENDING
DEFENDANTS' TIME TO RESPOND
TO COMPLAINT IN CONDEMNATION
Plaintiff filed its Complaint in Condemnation ("Complaint") in the Superior Court of California, Contra Costa County on or about June 7, 2011, and caused a Summons and the Complaint to be served on the Office of the U.S. Attorney, Northern District of California, on or about June 24, 2011.
On July 22, 2011, the Defendant United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") caused a Notice of Removal of this civil action to be filed in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California. Pursuant to the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 81(c)(2)(C), and a previous stipulated extension of the time for HUD to file its answer to the Complaint, the answer is now due by October 27, 2011. Because HUD's on-going review of the status of the subject property must precede and be concluded before it can make any decision as to the dispostion of that property, HUD has requested and Plaintiff has agreed to stipulate to an extension of time to answer the Complaint. HUD anticipates that the aforementioned review of the status of the property can be completed before the expiration of this extension, THEREFORE,
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED that the Defendants may have an additional 90 days, until January 20, 2012, to answer or otherwise plead to the Complaint.
