ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE
DISPOSITIONAL DOCUMENTS

v.

13

(ECF No. 12)
SCHAUMBURG TOYOTA, INC.,

14

SEPTEMBER 17, 2018 DEADLINE
Defendant.

On July 18, 2018, Plaintiff filed a notice of settlement informing the Court that the parties

17

1
18 have reached settlement resolving this action. (ECF No. 12.) Plaintiff requests that the Court

19 retain jurisdiction over the matter until it is fully resolved. The Court advises the parties that it
20 generally declines to retain jurisdiction following a voluntary dismissal without a specific
21 showing that it is necessary in the action. This Court is one of the busiest courts in the country
22 and the Court sees no need to tie up two judges with retention of jurisdiction without good cause.
23 Therefore, if the parties want the Court to retain jurisdiction following the voluntary dismissal,
24 the notice of dismissal must show good cause.

The Court notes that on June 13, 2018, the Court had granted the parties’ stipulation for a third extension of time

26 for Defendant to file its responsive pleading. (ECF No. 11.) Defendant was ordered to file its responsive pleading
on or before July 2, 2018. However, Defendant did not file its responsive pleading or another request to extend the

27 deadline to file its responsive pleading. Defendant may not have requested another extension because it anticipated
a settlement. However, Defendant is advised that deadlines are not merely suggestions and that if it is unable to

28 comply with a deadline, it should request an extension of the deadline prior to the deadline.
