STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO AMENDED COMPLAINT
(FIRST REQUEST)
CAM FERENBACH UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Defendants Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and NewRez LLC dba Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing and plaintiff SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC hereby stipulate and agree that defendants shall have an additional fourteen (14) days, up to and including December 9, 2022, to file their response to SFR's amended complaint. Defendants' responsive pleading is currently due on November 25, 2022. SFR filed its amended complaint on October 17, 2022, before this case was removed to federal court. ECF No. 1-1.
November 24, 2022 is a federal holiday.
Good cause exists to grant the requested two-week extension. The current November 24, 2022 deadline is a federal holiday, and defendants' counsel's offices are closed on November 24 and 25. In addition, because Fannie Mae, which is under conservatorship with the Federal Finance Housing Agency (FHFA), is a named party in the litigation, filings on its behalf are subject to multiple levels of review, including review by the FHFA. These reasons necessitate additional time, and demonstrate good cause for the court to grant the requested extension.
This is the parties' first stipulation for an extension of time for defendants to respond to SFR's amended complaint. The extension is requested in good faith and is not for purposes of delay or prejudice to any party.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED.
