STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANT TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT AND MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION (FIRST REQUEST)
Gloria M. Navarro, District Judge
Specialized Loan Servicing LLC's (“SLS”) response to Plaintiff Elizabeth Estrada's (“Plaintiff”) Complaint is currently due October 27, 2022, and its response to Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction (ECF No. 4) was due October 18, 2022. SLS and Plaintiff agree that SLS has up to and including November 11, 2022, to respond to Plaintiff's complaint and Motion for Preliminary Injunction. SLS, its agents, assigns and principals further agree SLS will not continue with foreclosure proceedings, including, but not limited to recording a notice of sale against the Property until such time as the court decides Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction.
Extension of the deadline to respond to Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction is warranted under LR IA 6-1 because counsel for SLS was recently retained to defend Plaintiff's claims. Upon being retained, counsel immediately contacted Plaintiff's counsel to work to reach a stipulation that will moot the need for a preliminary injunction.
The requested extension will provide the parties time to reach a stipulation to moot Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction and allow the parties to investigate Plaintiff's allegations and discuss potential resolution and, if needed, for SLS to prepare a response.
This is the first request for an extension, and it is made in good faith and not for purposes of delay.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED.
