22 22 order - Order (PAPERLESS or pdf attached) ~Util - Set/Reset Hearings Wed 10/16 2:02 PM
PAPERLESS ORDER SETTING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE: Scheduling Conference set for 10/24/2024 at 1:00 PM in the West Palm Beach Division before U.S. Magistrate Judge William Matthewman to take place via Zoom Video Teleconference (VTC). Any motions to modify the existing trial date should be filed two (2) business days prior to the Scheduling Conference. Motions to modify the trial date must specifically state the basis for the request, including detailed factual support, and must provide a compelling reason. The parties are further advised that the Court is strongly disinclined to modify the trial date based upon the scheduling "tracks" contained within the Local Rules and/or based upon vague references to the complexities of the case. To log in through ZoomGov Meeting, use Meeting ID: 160 540 3826 and Passcode: 246129. All counsel shall appear by both audio and video. Because of the expedited nature of the conference, the parties are relieved of Local Rule 16.1(b)'s conference report requirement. Signed by Magistrate Judge William Matthewman on 10/16/2024. (no00)

14 14 order Order on Motion for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply/Answer Mon 09/09 2:06 PM
PAPERLESS ORDER GRANTING IN PART8 Defendant's Motion for Extension of Time. Defendant seeks an extension of time to respond to the Complaint from August 29, 2024 to September 28, 2024. In support, Defendant cites the fact that counsel was retained on August 28, 2024, and that counsel has not had sufficient time to review the asserted facts, confer with his client regarding the content and design of the website at issue, and needs additional time to ensure that his client's response will be factually accurate. Motions for extensions of time must set forth good cause supported by specific facts. Here, Defendant does not sufficiently explain the need for a month's long extension. But because it is unopposed and supported by some facts, I will grant the Motion in part. Defendant shall respond to the Complaint on or by September 23, 2024. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 9/9/2024. (kid)
