STIPULATION AND REQUEST; [PROPOSED] ORDER; Case No. 2:11-cv02595-JAM-DAD

STIPULATION AND REQUEST 

Plaintiffs SHEILA GOODEN and MICHELLE HALL (“Plaintiffs”), and Defendant 

SUNTRUST MORTGAGE, INC., (“SunTrust”) have previously notified the Court that the 

parties have reached a settlement in principle. 

On September 15, 2014, the Court extended the stay of this case, asking that the parties, 

by September 23, 2014, submit a statement informing the Court that the parties have successfully 

completed settlement, requesting a further stay, or proposed a schedule to proceed with litigation. 

See Dkt. No. 131. 

The parties hereby notify the Court that they are continuing to negotiate to finalize the 

settlement of this action. The parties are currently in the process of investigating unexpected tax 

consequences of the tentatively reached agreement to resolve the dispute and continue to make 

progress toward a finalized settlement to wholly resolve the litigation. 

While the parties were hopeful that the settlement would be finalized by September 30, 

2014, they are requesting a thirty-day stay of the litigation, up to and including October 30, 2014 

to finalize and resolve the litigation. The parties are hopeful that no further requests for 

extensions of the stay will be necessary. 

The parties therefore respectfully stipulate to and respectfully request that the Court enter 

an additional stay until October 30, 2014. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED. 

Respectfully Submitted, 

Dated: September 23, 2014 COTCHETT, PITRE & McCARTHY, LLP
