STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR FANNIE MAE TO RESPOND TO AMENDED COMPLAINT (FIFTH REQUEST)
SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC and Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) hereby stipulate and agree that Fannie Mae shall have an additional 7 days, up to and including November 4, 2022, to file its response to SFR's amended complaint. [ECF No. 1-2]. Fannie Mae's responsive pleadings is currently due on October 28, 2022, and was originally due on August 31, 2022. [ECF Nos. 5 and 16]. SFR filed its amended complaint on August 10, 2022, before the case was removed to federal court.
Good cause exists to grant the requested one-week extension. Fannie Mae is under conservatorship with the Federal Finance Housing Agency (FHFA). Because Fannie Mae is a named party in the litigation, filings on its behalf are subject to multiple levels of review, including review by the FHFA. This necessitates additional time, and is good cause for the court to grant the requested extension.
This is Fannie Mae's fifth request for an extension of this deadline, and is not intended to cause any delay or prejudice to any party.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
