STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANT HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFFS' COMPLAINT
Defendants, Hartford Insurance Company of the Midwest (“Midwest”) and The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (incorrectly named as Hartford Financial Services Group, and hereinafter referred to as “HFSG”), by and through their counsel of record, Darren T. Brenner, Esq., and Stephanie Garabedian, Esq., of Wright, Finlay & Zak, LLP, and Plaintiffs Robert Hamblen and Leslie R Bakke (“Plaintiffs”), hereby agree and stipulate as follows.
1. On July 28, 2023, Plaintiffs served a copy of the Complaint and Summons upon HFSG;
2. The current deadline to respond to Plaintiffs' Complaint is August 18, 2023;
3. The parties are discussing the terms of a dismissal of HFSG, but need additional time to finalize those terms. Accordingly, the parties stipulate and agree that HFSG may have an additional fourteen (14) days to file its response to Plaintiffs' Complaint, and thus requests up to September 1, 2023, to file its response;
4. This is the first request for an extension which is made in good faith to avoid the costs of HFGS's response to the Complaint that would be mooted by an agreement to dismiss HFSG.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
