Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 7(b) and Local Rules 6-2 and 7-5(b) for the
District of Nevada, Defendant Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., also incorrectly sued as Wells Fargo
Home Mortgage (“Wells Fargo”) respectfully submits this Ex Parte Motion to Extend Deadline to
Respond to the Complaint filed by Plaintiff Sheila K. Stuppy (“Plaintiff”), which was removed to
this Court on December 21, 2016 (the “Motion”).1

Wells Fargo respectfully requests a second extension of time to respond to Plaintiff’s
Complaint, for fourteen (14) days, to February 2, 2017. In support of this Motion, Wells Fargo
states as follows:

26

1.

On or about December 2, 2016, Plaintiff commenced an action in the District

27
28

1

The filing of this Motion does not waive any of Defendants’ rights or remedies and the Defendants
explicitly preserve all of their rights, claims and defenses.

Court of the State of Nevada, Clark County, styled Stuppy v. Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Wells

2

Fargo Bank, N.A., Clear Recon Corp. (Case No. A-16-747526-C).

2.

On December 21, 2016, Wells Fargo removed the action to this Court.

3.

In accordance with the prior order of this Court, Wells Fargo’s Answer or other

5
6

response is due on January 19, 2017 [Docket No. 5].
4.

There are currently no scheduled hearings in this case. A short extension to file a

7

response will not unduly delay the proceedings. There will be no adverse effect or prejudice to

8

any of the parties if this Motion is granted.

5.

Wells Fargo’s counsel requires an additional brief extension to prepare its response

due to the holidays and client coordination efforts.
6.

Wells Fargo has made efforts to stipulate as to an extension of time. Plaintiff has

12

filed this action pro se, and did not list a phone number or an email address on the case cover

13

sheet of the original action. Counsel for Wells Fargo left a message for Plaintiff today, January

14

17, 2017, regarding this requested extension. Additionally, Plaintiff has not responded to

15

multiple phone messages and emails to Plaintiff from Wells Fargo since December 2016.

16

7.

Furthermore, a Joint Status Report is due to the Court on January 20, 2017.

17

Counsel for Wells Fargo mailed a proposed Joint Status Report to Plaintiff on January 13, 2017,

18

but has not yet received a response.

19

9.

Pursuant to LR 7-5(b), good cause exists as to why this Motion has been submitted

20

to the Court without prior notice to Plaintiff. Wells Fargo attempted to discuss an extension with

21

Plaintiff, but Wells Fargo does not have an email address or other known phone number for

22

Plaintiff.

23

10.

Wells Fargo has previously requested one extension of time from this Court.
