SULLIVAN & CROMWELL LLP

Plaintiff Mariela Aguilar Velazquez and Defendant Ally Bank (together, the “Parties”), 

by and through undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

WHEREAS, on January 27, 2022, the Court entered the Parties’ Stipulation and Order 

Pursuant to Local Rule 144(a) For Extension of Time to Respond to Complaint (“Stipulation”) (ECF 

No. 11);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Stipulation, Defendant’s deadline to file a response to the 

Complaint was extended from January 28, 2022 to March 14, 2022, and the Parties’ deadline to file a 

short joint statement was extended from February 3, 2022 to the earlier of 14 days after Defendant 

files an answer to the Complaint, or 14 days after the Court resolves any motion to dismiss (ECF 

No. 11 ¶¶ 1, 3);

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to stay case deadlines to engage in settlement 

discussions and explore resolution of the case without litigation;

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that a stay will conserve the Court’s and Parties’ 

resources, and will not prejudice the conduct of the litigation;

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that there exists good cause for the Court to stay case 

deadlines;

WHEREAS, all parties who have appeared in the action and are affected by the 

stipulation are signatories hereto;

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the Parties, through their 

respective counsel of record, and subject to the Court’s approval, that:

1. The case is stayed to enable the Parties to engage in settlement discussions.

2. Defendant’s deadline to file a response to the Complaint shall be extended from 

March 14, 2022 to April 13, 2022; Plaintiff’s deadline to file any opposition to the motion shall be 

May 13, 2022; Defendant’s deadline to file any reply in support of the motion shall be June 13, 2022; 

and the hearing on the motion shall be scheduled for July 7, 2022.

efforts to resolve the case and requesting a further stay on or before April 8, 2022.
