Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2) and 6(b)(a)(1)(A) and LR 26-4, Plaintiff,
Citibank, N.A. as Trustee for the Certificateholders of Structured Asset Mortgage
Investments II, Inc., Bear Stearns ALT-A Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates Series 2006-6 and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.
(“Trustee”), Defendant SFR Investment Pools 1, LLC (“SFR”), and Defendant
Seville Etage Homeowners Association (the “Association”) (together, the “Parties”)
hereby submit the following Stipulation and Order to Extend Dispositive Motions
Deadline and Deadline for Pretrial Order (Third Request).
Under the Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order [ECF No. 33], as amended
by the Stipulation and Order to Extend Discovery Deadlines [ECF No. 44.] the

Pursuant to LR 26-4, a stipulation to extend any dates set by the scheduling
order must be supported by a showing of good cause for the extension. “The good
cause inquiry focuses primarily on the movant's diligence.” Novotny v. Outback

Steakhouse of Fla., LLC, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 114672 at *2 (D. Nev. July 21,
2017) (citing Coleman v. Quaker Oats Co., 232 F.3d 1271, 1294-95 (9th Cir. 2000)).
“Good cause to extend a discovery deadline exists ‘if it cannot reasonably be met
despite the diligence of the party seeking the extension.’” Id. (quoting Johnson v.

Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992)). Good cause exists

1 in this case. All of the Parties have exercised diligence with regards to completing
2 discovery, and discovery is now completed. The Parties believe that an additional
3 two week extension of the dispositive motions and joint pre-trial orders deadline is
4 appropriate to accommodate unanticipated scheduling conflicts on the part of
5 counsel. The Parties have not previously requested an extension of the dispositive
6 motions deadline, however, the Parties did obtain two extensions of the close of
7 discovery and each such extension also extended the dispositive motions deadline.
8

The Parties propose a two-week extension of the remaining deadlines as
