Defendants move for an extension of time to file their dispositive motion. Specifically, they
seek an extension to a date that is ninety days after the November 20, 2013 settlement conference in
this matter,1 up to and including February 18, 2014.
The amount of time requested by Defendants is not warranted based on the record presented.
The Order of Service in this matter was issued on July 23, 2013. Because Defendants were
requested to waive service of the summons, the Court gave them an extended deadline to file their
answer and dispositive motion. Therefore, Defendants have had ample time to file their dispositive
motion. However, having read and considered Defendants' request and the accompanying
declaration of counsel, the Court finds that Defendants have made a sufficient showing for a sixtyday extension of time. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants' request for an extension of time is GRANTED
in part and DENIED in part. While the Court DENIES Defendants' request for a ninety-day
extension, it finds that a sixty-day extension is warranted. Therefore, the Court GRANTS
Defendants a sixty-day extension, and their dispositive motion shall be filed no later than January
20, 2014. Plaintiff's opposition to the dispositive motion shall be filed with the Court and served on
Defendants no later than twenty-eight (28) days after the date Defendants' motion is filed.
Defendants shall file a reply brief no later than fourteen (14) days after the date Plaintiff's
