ORDER
BRENDA WEKSLER UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Defendant, UNITED SPECIALTY INSURANCE COMPANY (hereinafter “USIC”), and Plaintiff, U.S. EXPRESS CARRIERS, LLC (“Plaintiff”), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree to extend the deadline for USIC to file a responsive pleading to Plaintiff's Amended Complaint for Declaratory Relief by thirty (30) days, from April 11, 2023 to May 10, 2023. This is the parties' first request for extension of the deadline.
This stipulation is submitted in compliance with LR IA 6-1. Good cause exists for the requested extension, as counsel for USIC has only recently been retained to represent USIC in this matter and is in the process of reviewing the file materials and information necessary to respond to the allegations set forth in the Amended Complaint. Accordingly, the parties agree that the requested extension furthers the interests of this litigation and is not being requested in bad faith or to delay these proceedings unnecessarily.
The failure to file this stipulation on or before the original responsive pleading deadline of April 11, 2023 was the result of excusable neglect, as undersigned counsel for USIC had not yet been retained.
DATED this 24th day of April, 2023.

IT IS SO ORDERED
