(“Defendants”, collectively, the “Parties”), by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
1. On May 11, 2021, this Court issued its Order granting the Parties' Stipulation to Stay Case pending the Ninth Circuit's resolution of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Fidelity National Title Ins. Co., Ninth Cir. Case No. 19-17332, Case No. 3:19-cv-00241-MMD-WGC [ECF No. 29].
2. On December 29, 2021, U.S. Bank filed a Motion to Lift Stay and Reopen Case [ECF No. 30].
3. On January 11, 2022, Defendants filed their Opposition to U.S. Bank's Motion to Lift Stay and Reopen Case [ECF No. 33] and a Countermotion to Extend Stay pending a recent appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court in PennyMac Corporation v. Westcor Land Title Insurance Company, Nevada Supreme Court Case No. 83737 [ECF No. 34].

5. U.S. Bank requests a seven (7) day extension of time to file its response to Defendants' Opposition to the Motion to Lift Stay and Reopen Case, such that the deadline shall fall on the same deadline for U.S. Bank to respond to Defendants' Countermotion, January 25, 2022. The extension is requested to afford U.S. Bank's counsel additional time to review and respond to the arguments in Defendants' Opposition.
