HOLLAND & HART LLP

9555 Hillwood Drive, 2nd Floor
Las Vegas, NV 89134

11

1.

Plaintiffs commenced this action in the Eighth Judicial District Court for the

State of Nevada on October 5, 2017.
2.

Defendant Ray Gonzalez filed a Notice of Removal in this federal court on

November 15, 2017. Plaintiffs reserve the right to contend that such removal was improper.
3.

Except as set forth in Paragraph 5 of this Stipulation, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.

12

81(c)(2)(C), the deadline for the Stipulating Defendants to answer or otherwise respond to the

13

Complaint is November 22, 2017.

14

Plaintiffs also reserve the right to contend that the removal in this case was improper and that

15

therefore, in the absence of this Stipulation, Fed. R. Civ. P. 81(c)(2)(C) would not apply.

16

4.

In addition to the matters addressed in Paragraph 5,

Except as provided in and subject to Paragraph 5, all Stipulating Defendants

17

shall have up to and including December 4, 2017, in which to answer or otherwise respond to

18

the Complaint on file herein.

19

5.

Plaintiffs’ position is that Hygea Holdings Corp. (“Hygea”) is and remains in

20

default, and is therefore barred from filing papers in its defense in this case unless and until the

21

default is set aside.

22

positions, to any argument that Hygea is in default in either state or federal court, or to any

23

argument that any answer or response filed by Hygea should be stricken, Hygea will not be

24

deemed to be in default by virtue of filing an answer or other response in this court by

25

December 4, 2017 as opposed to within seven days of removal; and Hygea’s filing of such an

26

answer or response by December 4, 2017, as opposed to within seven days of removal shall not

27

prejudice any argument by either side regarding whether or not Hygea is or remains in default

28

or to whether such answer or response should be stricken.

Hygea disputes this position.

However, without prejudice to such

1

6.

This Stipulation also is for scheduling purposes only. The parties’ execution of

2

this stipulation is without prejudice to any argument that this Court lacks jurisdiction over this

3

matter or that the Court should remand this case. In the event the Court determines that it

4

otherwise lacks jurisdiction, such execution of this stipulation shall not otherwise confer this

5

Court with jurisdiction, and such execution of this stipulation shall not prejudice any argument

6

that removal was improper.

7

7.

This Stipulation also is for scheduling purposes only. Certain of the Stipulating

8

Defendants may move for dismissal based on lack of personal jurisdiction or other

9

grounds. Accordingly, this Stipulation should not be construed as a waiver to seek such a

10

HOLLAND & HART LLP

11

dismissal before this Court.
8.

This is the first extension of time requested by the parties in this Court. This

12

Stipulation is made in good faith and not in an attempt to delay proceedings.

13

DATED this 22nd day of November, 2017.
