Case No.2:07 CV 01818 GEB DAD 

 

through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate to an additional nine-day 

extension of time within which Defendant may answer or otherwise respond to the 

Complaint filed by Plaintiff. Defendant was previously granted a thirty (30) day 

extension by stipulation, and their response is currently due on October 1, 2007. 

Good cause exists for an additional nine-day extension of time, such that a 

pleading filed on or before October 10, 2007 shall be deemed timely, because 

Defendant and Plaintiff have tentatively agreed to settle this matter and are 

currently engaged in negotiating a settlement and release which will cause 

Dameron to dismiss defendant. Plaintiff and Defendant believe that such a 

settlement will be consummated prior to October 10, 2007.

As required by Local Rules 6-144 and 83-143, a proposed order is being 

filed concurrently herewith. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
