Case No. 2:15-cv-01807-RFB-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 23)

15

Pending before the Court is a stipulation to extend the deadline for Defendant New Penn

16

Financial, LLC (d/b/a Shellpoint Mortgage) (“Defendant”) to respond to the complaint so that the parties

17

may discuss settlement. Docket No. 23. The deadline for Defendant to respond to the complaint appears

18

to have expired roughly six months ago. See Docket No. 13 (summons returned executed showing

19

service on December 3, 2015). The parties have failed to establish excusable neglect for filing the

20

pending stipulation after the pertinent deadline expired. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(2).1 Moreover, these

21

parties have already had more than enough time to discuss possible resolution. Accordingly, the

22

stipulation is DENIED.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
