Defendants Bank of America, N.A., erroneously named as Bank of America Home

Plaintiff names “Bank of America Home Loans, Inc.” as a defendant; however, no legal entity
exists by that name. Defendants assume that Plaintiff meant to name Bank of America Home
Loans, which was a trade name for BAC Home Loans Servicing, L.P. On July 1, 2011, BAC
Home Loans Servicing, L.P. merged with and into Bank of America, N.A. Thus, Bank of
America, N.A. responds on behalf of the erroneously named entity “Bank of America Home
Loans, Inc.”

Accordingly, it is hereby:
ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Stay Discovery is GRANTED,
staying the discovery period and the parties’ requirements to comply with their
respective obligations.
It is furthermore ORDERED that should the Court later deny Defendants’

of the federal and local rules within thirty (30) days of the Court’s Order denying
said motion.
