of Removal and the other documents issued by this Court has been served on Plaintiff.

3. Pursuant to this Court’s Local Rule 6-1(a), the respective attorneys for Plaintiff

and FHFA agreed to extend the time for defendant FHFA to answer or otherwise plead to the

Second Amended Complaint to and including October 30, 2015.

4. Pursuant to the prior stipulation of the parties, FHFA filed a Motion to Dismiss on

October 30, 2015.

after the Court holiday on November 27, 2015).
