STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE REPLY IN SUPPORT OF FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION'S SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION (SECOND REQUEST)
RICHARD F. BOULWARE, II UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
Ruperts Court Trust (Ruperts) and Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) stipulate and agree that Fannie Mae shall have an additional thirty (30) days, up to and including January 23, 2023, to file its reply in support of Fannie Mae's summary judgment motion, which is currently due on December 22, 2022. Fannie Mae moved for summary judgment on November 3, 2022. ECF No. 24. The parties agreed to extend Ruperts' deadline to respond to Fannie Mae's motion by seven days, through December 1, 2022, ECF. No. 26, which the court granted, ECF No. 27. Ruperts timely filed its response. ECF No. 28. The parties then agreed to extend Fannie Mae's deadline to reply by seven days from December 15, 2022, to December 22, 2022., ECF No. 29, which the court granted, ECF No. 30.
Good cause exists to grant the requested extension. Ruperts has extended a settlement offer to Fannie Mae. The parties are currently negotiating settlement in good faith and request additional time to consider the offers to each other so that they may have an opportunity to resolve this matter through settlement without incurring additional fees and costs related to the summary judgment briefing. This is the parties' second request for an extension of this deadline, and is not intended to cause any delay or prejudice to any party.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
