Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, Defendant GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, 

Inc. and Plaintiffs Ana Ramirez, Ismael Ramirez, and Jorge Salazar (collectively, the "Parties") 

hereby respectfully request that this Court extend the deadlines for the Parties to file their 

respective class certification papers by fourteen days. The current briefing schedule was set by 

Court Order [Docket No. 155]. 

In support of this Motion, the Parties represent that they have been diligently working to 

complete discovery relevant to class certification. Depositions of the Plaintiffs are scheduled for 

March 16, 2010, March 17, 2010, and March 23, 2010, which were the earliest dates the 

Plaintiffs were available. 

A brief extension of time for the filing of the Parties' class certification papers is 

necessary in the interests of the efficient administration of justice, and to ensure a fair and 

orderly completion of class discovery and sufficient time for briefing regarding class 

certification. 

A proposed Order is attached.
