(FIRST REQUEST)
ECF No. 20
Defendant Chicago Title Insurance Company (“Chicago Title”) and Plaintiff Wilmington Trust, National Association (“Wilmington Trust”) (collectively, the “Parties”), by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
1. On March 10, 2021, Wilmington Trust filed its Complaint in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Case No. A-21-830897-C [ECF No. 1-1];
2. On March 10, 2021, Chicago Title filed a Petition for Removal to this Court [ECF No. 1];
3. On April 9, 2021, Wilmington Trust filed a Motion for Remand [ECF No. 7] and Motion for Costs and Fees [ECF No. 8];
4. On April 22, 2021, the Court entered an order, pursuant to the Parties' stipulation, staying the case pending resolution of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Fidelity National Title Ins. Co. Ninth Cir. Case No. 19-17332 (the “Wells Fargo II Appeal”). Upon entry of the stay the Court denied as moot, all pending motions, including the Motion for Remand. The Court further ordered that the Parties move to lift the stay and reactivate any previously filed motions within 30 days of the issuance of the mandate in the Wells Fargo II Appeal [ECF No. 19];
5. On December 29, 2021, Wilmington Trust filed a Renewed Motion for Remand;
6. Chicago Title's deadline to respond to Wilmington Trust's Renewed Motion for Remand is currently January 12, 2022;
7. Chicago Title's counsel is requesting an extension until February 3, 2022, to file its response to the pending Renewed Motion for Remand;
8. Chicago Title requests a brief extension of time to respond to the Motion for Remand to afford Chicago Title additional time to respond to the legal arguments set forth in Wilmington Trust's motions;
9. Wilmington Trust does not oppose the requested extension;
10. This is the first request for an extension which is made in good faith and not for purposes of delay;
IT IS SO STIPULATED that Chicago Title's deadline to respond to Wilmington Trust's Motion for Remand [ECF No. 17] is hereby extended through and including February 3, 2022.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
