8 8 order - Order (PAPERLESS or pdf attached) ~Util - Set/Reset Deadlines Mon 08/19 9:28 AM
PAPERLESS ORDER SETTING DEADLINE TO FILE CLOSING DOCUMENTS. Plaintiff notified the Court that the Parties have settled this matter (DE7 ), and the Court congratulates them on reaching an amicable resolution of this case. The Parties shall file the appropriate closing documents within 10 days, or no later than August 29, 2024. The Parties' request for 30 days to file closing documents is denied, as no good cause for such a delay is set forth in the Notice, and I do not view a pending settlement as grounds to stay ongoing litigation. Until the Parties submit the appropriate closing documents, I expect compliance with all pretrial deadlines. However, I note that the Answer deadline passed on August 9, 2024. In light of the pending settlement, I will sua sponte extend that deadline until August 29, 2024, as well. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 8/19/2024. (mjn)

PAPERLESS ORDER requiring Status Report from the Plaintiff. A sua sponte review of the record reflects that Defendant was served on July 19, 2024. Defendant has not responded to the complaint and the deadline to do so has passed. Moreover no counsel has yet appeared on Defendant's behalf. Accordingly, Plaintiff shall, by August 21, 2024, file a Status Report with the Court clarifying whether he intends to move for clerk's entry of default, given the present posture of this case. Failure to comply with this Order may result in dismissal without prejudice. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 8/16/2024. (kid)
