Defendants.

18
19

Pursuant to LR 6-1 and LR 26-4, Plaintiff Troy A. Garcia (“Plaintiff”), and Defendant

20

Specialized Loan Servicing, LLC (“SLS”), by and through their respective counsel of record,

21

hereby stipulate and request that this Court extend the dispositive motion deadline by ten (10)

22

days. At this time, the parties are not seeking an extension of any other discovery deadlines but

23

reserve the right to request in the future. In support of this Stipulation and Request, the parties

state as follows:

25

A.

26

Specific Description of Discovery that Remains to be Completed

15

1.

No additional discovery is needed. However, the parties did not receive all

16

transcripts from the depositions completed in early March 2018 until late March 2018 and the

17

deadline for deponents to note any revisions to their depositions has not expired, preventing

18

preparation of dispositive motions. Additionally, a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint

19

remains pending before the Court.

20

C.

21

The parties aver, pursuant to LR 6-1 and LR 26-4, that good cause exists for the requested

22

extension. At this juncture, discovery has closed in this matter. The parties previously stipulated

23

to extend pretrial deadlines to allow the completion of discovery. While the parties had originally

24

expected to file dispositive motions by the present deadline, scheduling conflicts and personal

25

emergencies have delayed preparation of said motions. The requested extension of the dispositive

26

motion deadline is to permit the parties to prepare appropriate dispositive motions. The parties are

27

bringing this request now because they did not know at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the

28

pending dispositive motion deadline that such complications would arise.
LV 421137809v1

Reasons Why the Remaining Discovery Was Not Completed

-2-

1

In order to have the necessary time to prepare appropriate dispositive motions, the parties

2

request a ten (10) day extension of the dispositive motion deadline. This is their third request to

3

extend the deadline to file dispositive motions.
