COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC.; BAC

Defendants.

16

The parties filed separate pretrial status reports to request a stay of 180 days.

17

(Dkt. nos. 47 & 48.) The cited reason for the stay is to permit Plaintiff to complete her

18

bankruptcy case and then go through the loan modification process, although it is not

19

clear that resolution may be reached within 180 days. Defendants submit that additional

20

discovery will be required should the case not settle. However, any remaining discovery

21

should have been completed before the discovery deadline of June 5, 2012. (Dkt. no.

22

41.) In fact, in the last Stipulation and Order for extension of the deadlines, the joint

23

pretrial order deadline was set for August 6, 2012. (Id.)

24

deadline, which prompted the Court to order the parties to file the joint pretrial order by

25

August 31, 2012. While the Court encourages the parties to work towards a resolution,

26

the Court does not find good cause to stay this case for 180 days. However, the Court

27

will grant a limited continuance of the deadline to file the joint pretrial order. It is ordered

28

that the parties file a status report to address the progress of Plaintiff’s bankruptcy and/or

The parties missed this

1

the loan modification process in ninety (90) days. Depending on the report, the Court

2

will set a new deadline for the filing of the joint pretrial order.

IT IS ORDERED that a status report is due December 4, 2012.
