STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANT TO FILE RESPONSIVE PLEADING [SECOND REQUEST]
DANIEL J. ALBREGTS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pursuant to LR IA 6-1 and LR 7-1, Plaintiff APRIL MAYS (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant BARCLAYS SERVICES LLC (wrongfully named “Barclays”) (“Defendant”) by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby agree and stipulate to extend the time for Defendant to file a responsive pleading from the current deadline of August 18, 2023, up to and including September 1, 2023.
Such extension is necessary in light of the fact that Defendant's counsel was recently retained and requires the additional time to continue to investigate the allegations in the Complaint. Further, an arbitration agreement exists which may affect jurisdiction of this matter, and the parties are discussing whether Plaintiff will stipulate to remove this case to arbitration or whether Defendant's counsel will file a motion to compel arbitration.
This is the second request for an extension of time to respond to the Complaint. This request is made in good faith and not for the purpose of delay.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
