2. Plaintiffs’ counsel was out of state on vacation and unavailable when the Motion 

was filed and also when the hearing date was scheduled. Counsel’s recent return to his office in 

Nashville, Tennessee leaves insufficient time for Plaintiffs to file their opposition to the Motion. 

3. After meeting and conferring, the parties agree and stipulate, and request that the 

Court approve the following: 

a. The hearing date on Defendants’ Motion to Set Aside Default, presently 

calendared for October 15, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. shall be heard on December 9, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. 

b. Plaintiffs’ opposition to the Motion shall be served and filed no later than 

September 6, 2024. 

c. Defendants’ reply shall be served and filed no later than September 16, 2024. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
