WAYNE A. HAGENDORF,

Case No.: 2:21-cv-00231-GMN-BNW

Plaintiff,
AMENDED STIPULATION AND ORDER
FOR EXTENSION OF RESPONSIVE
PLEADING DEADLINE

14

v.

15

NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC,
[FIRST REQUEST]

16

Defendant.

17
18

Nationstar Mortgage LLC and Wayne A. Hagendorf stipulate to extend the responsive

19

pleading deadline. Hagendorf filed his complaint on February 12, 2021. ECF No. 1. Nationstar was

20

served with the complaint on February 17, 2021. Nationstar's deadline to respond to the complaint

21

was March 10, 2021. The parties agree Nationstar shall have until Monday, April 26, 2021 to file a

22

response to the complaint. Nationstar will use this additional time to review the loan documents

23

applicable to this case.

24

Nationstar and Hagendorf acknowledge this stipulation is being filed after the March 10

25

deadline. Nationstar communicated with Hagendorf prior to the deadline, reaching out on March 8,

26

2021, to request a stipulated extension. At that time, Nationstar was still within its answering

27

deadline and thus did not consider excusable neglect standard in the request or in drafting the

28

stipulation to extend. By way of further explanation, counsel for Nationstar initially requested its

Case 2:21-cv-00231-GMN-BNW Document 7 Filed 04/22/21 Page 2 of 2

1

extension from counsel for Hagendorf for "personal reasons." Those reasons are medical issues

2

undersigned counsel is dealing with that has required extended time away from the office which in

3

turn required a longer time to review the loan documents in this case, as stated in the parties' initial

4

stipulation to extend as the basis for the extension. Shortly thereafter, this case was internally

5

transferred to another Akerman associate to take over handling of the case as a result of undersigned

6

counsels' ongoing medical treatment. Respectfully, the failure to file this stipulation prior to the

7

March 10 deadline is a result of oversight constituting excusable neglect. LR IA 6-1(a). Neither

8

Nationstar nor Hagendorf will be prejudiced by the brief extension.
