14 14 order - Order (PAPERLESS or pdf attached) ~Util - Set/Reset Deadlines Thu 01/07 12:49 PM
PAPERLESS ORDER REQUIRING FILING OF CLOSING DOCUMENTS. On January 4, 2021, the Parties filed a Notice of Settlement. (DE13 ). The Court congratulates the Parties on reaching an amicable resolution of this case. Pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Pretrial Scheduling Order (DE11 ), the Parties shall file appropriate closing documents within 10 days, or by January 18, 2021. The Court will retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the Parties' settlement agreement if requested to do so before closing the case. The Parties are advised that their Notice of Settlement does not stay this litigation, and therefore until appropriate closing documents are filed, the Court will expect compliance with all pretrial deadlines. However, given that the deadline to amend pleadings and to join parties (January 11, 2021) falls within this filing period, I will sua sponte extend that one deadline from January 11, 2021 to January 18, 2021. (Miscellaneous Deadline 1/18/2021.) Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 1/7/2021. (kal)

8 8 order Order on Motion for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply/Answer Wed 11/25 9:10 PM
PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part7 Defendant's Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. Defendant West Coast Insurance Company seeks a one-week extension of the deadline to reply in support of its Partial Motion to Dismiss Count II of the Complaint (DE4 ) from December 1, 2020 to December 8, 2020. In support, Defendant's counsel represents that she "is out of the office and traveling due to the Thanksgiving holiday." (DE7 para. 5). Motions for extension of time must establish good cause supported by specific facts, not conclusory assertions or vague generalities. Although Defendant's Motion fails to set forth specific facts by which the Court may evaluate whether good cause exists, because the extension is relatively brief and is unopposed, I will grant the motion in part. Accordingly, the deadline for Defendant to file its Reply is extended to December 4, 2020. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 11/25/2020. (kal)
