STIPULATION OF COUNSEL FOR
AN EXTENSION OF TIME FOR
NEW ENGLAND LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY MAY
RESPOND TO DIANE G.
GEIGER’S COUNTER-CLAIM;
ORDER
[Pursuant to Local Rule 144]
1
Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant New England Life Insurance Company
2
(“New England”) and Defendant and Counterclaimant Diane G. Geiger (“Geiger”),
3
by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate to extend the time within
4
which New England may answer or otherwise respond to the Counterclaim filed by
5
Geiger on September 29, 2014.
6
7
Specifically, Geiger and New England stipulate that New England shall have
8
until December 19, 2014 to file its responsive pleading to Geiger’s Counterclaim.
9
Good cause exists for this extension, as the parties are cautiously optimistic regarding
10
the prospects of settling the entirety of the case. The parties are presently discussing
11
settlement and are arranging to a settlement conference before a Magistrate Judge,
12
which should be completed in November or early-December. The parties would like
13
to save the time, effort and costs of motion practice with regard to Geiger’s
14
Counterclaim and focus those resources toward their settlement prospects.
