CASE NO. 2:20-cv-1816 APG-BNW
STIPULATION AND ORDER

COME NOW the parties, Yessica Ortiz, by and through her counsel, Lisa A.
Rasmussen, Esq. and Bertha Lorea Zapeda, by and through her counsel, Troy A. Clark, Esq. and
hereby stipulate as follows:
1.

This matter was filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court in July 2020.

2.

Ms. Lorea Zapeda was served with a copy of the Complaint and Summons in

September 2020.
3.

On September 30, 2020, her counsel removed the matter to this Court. [ECF 1.]

Ms. Lorea Zapeda’s Statement of Removal was also filed on September 30, 2020. [ECF 5.]
4.

Ms. Lorea Zapeda also filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint on September

30, 2020. [ECF 6.] A response to Ms. Lorea Zapeda’s Motion is due on today’s date.

5.

On October 1, 2020, this Court issued an Order to Show Cause to the Defendants

as to why this matter should not be remanded back to state court based on lack of subject matter
jurisdiction. [ECF 8.] The Court set a deadline of on or before October 16, 2020 for a response
from the defendants. (Id.)
6.

All parties participated in a mediation hearing on October 8, 2020 and they have

resolved all claims. Because it takes some time to circulate and execute all of the appropriate
settlement documents, the parties are not able to file the agreed upon dismissal documents,
which will result in a dismissal with prejudice, on today’s date.
7.

It would be a waste of resource and unnecessary for Plaintiff to respond to

pending Motion to Dismiss and it would also be a waste of resource and unnecessary for the
defendants to respond to this Court’s Order to Show Cause as the matter will be dismissed
shortly.
8.

Accordingly, the parties stipulate to extend Plaintiff’s deadline to respond to the

Motion to Dismiss to November 15, 2020.
9.

The parties jointly request that it extend its deadline to respond to the Order to

Show Cause until November 15, 2020 for the same reasons, but since it is a deadline set by the
Court, they cannot stipulate to move it, but they jointly request that it be moved.
10.

This will permit the parties to complete execution of settlement documents and

to get their proper dismissal of this action on file in this case.
11.

This Stipulation is not made for any purpose of delay, but rather is made in the

spirit of judicial economy to spare everyone, including the court, any additional unnecessary
effort in this matter.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
Dated this 14th day of October, 2020.
