RECITALS 

 Plaintiff LINDA GATSON and Defendant OCWEN LOAN SERVICING, LLC 

(collectively, the “Parties”) by and through their respective counsel of record, and subject to the 

Court’s approval, hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 

 WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed their Complaint in this action on September 15, 2014; 

 WHEREAS, this case was referred to mediation with a mediation completion date, 

initially of September 15, 2015 and then moved to September 29, 2015; 

WHEREAS, on September 22, 2015, the Parties engaged in a phone call with the 

mediator and it was agreed that it would be in the best interest of the Parties to postpone the 

mediation until November 12, 2015, to allow Plaintiff time to submit, and for Defendant to 

review, a loan modification application and/or other foreclosure alternative application; 

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that it is in their best interests to determine Plaintiff’s 

eligibility for a loan modification or other alternative to foreclosure prior to mediating this 

matter, and therefore, the parties and mediator Gilda R. Turitz agreed to continue the mediation 

to November 12, 2015, a date now scheduled by both the Parties and mediator, Ms. Turitz; 

WHEREAS, to comply with the Court’s order concerning the Mediation Completion 

Date, the Parties (with the support of assigned mediator Gilda R. Turitz) request a further 

extension of time by which they must complete mediation to November 12, 2015; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have engaged in written discovery and anticipate to complete 

deposition(s), which will then complete discovery; 

WHEREAS, the Parties also agree that because an informal resolution of this matter may 

be reached at mediation, it is in the Parties best interest and it preserves judicial economy to 

extend the discovery related deadlines in this case;
