JOINT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL TIME TO SUBMIT SETTLEMENT DOCUMENTS
(FIRST REQUEST FOR ADDITONAL TIME TO SUBMIT SETTLMENT DOCUMENTS)
IT IS HEREBY JOINTLY REQUESTED by Defendants PARBALL CORPORATION, d/b/a THE FLAMINGO LAS VEGAS AND PARBALL CORPORATION d/b/a THE FLAMINGO HILTON HOTEL AND CASINO, (incorrectly named in the caption herein as PARBALL CORPORATION, d/b/a THE FLAMINGO LAS VEGAS AND PARBALL CORPORATION, d/b/a THE FLAMINGO HILTON HOTEL AND CASINO), and Plaintiff, GRO ELISABET SILLE by and through their respective attorneys of record, that the Court extend the time for the parties to submit settlement documents, including but not limited to a Stipulation to dismiss this matter in conformance with the settlement reached herein.
The Stipulation for dismissal is presently due on Wednesday, August 3, 2011. This is the first request for additional time to submit settlement documents.
The reason for delay in submitting the Stipulation for dismissal is that a number of liens have been asserted on the settlement proceeds, including an attorney's lien filed last week. Because of the outstanding claimed liens, Plaintiff's counsel is preparing a request to implead the settlement funds into the Court in order so that the Court can determine the distribution of the settlement funds, Parball has likewise been considering such an interpleader.
In addition, such an interpleader will require appropriate provisions to protect the confidentiality of the parties' settlement agreement.
Based on the above, the parties request that the Court allow until August 17, 2011 for the filing of an appropriate request to implead the settlement funds and serve notice on the lien claimants.
DATED this 1st day of August, 2011.
