Claimant, Patrick J. Cassidy, and Plaintiff, the United

following:

1. The lienholder, MortgageIt, was served with the

Complaint, and filed a Claim to the property and an Answer to the

Complaint. The plaintiff and MortgageIt entered into a

Stipulation for Expedited Settlement, which was approved by the

Court on August 21, 2007. The lienholder was then excused from

further participation in this action.

2. The Plaintiff and Claimant Patrick J. Cassidy have

completed discovery and have begun settlement negotiations. 

Because the equity in the property is relatively low, the parties

are trying to settle the case before having to incur additional

attorneys fees and litigation costs briefing the dispositive

motions. They believe that, given a 90-day extension of the

motion deadline, they may be able to settle the case without

having to file any further motions.

3. Claimant Cassidy has kept the mortgage current, and

promises to keep the mortgage current during this period. 

Counsel contacted the attorney for the lienholder, and his

position was that since his client is no longer participating in

the case (pursuant to the August 21, 2007 order), it would not

oppose the extension of the motions deadline.

4. Accordingly, the parties propose that the dates be

modified as follows:
