ORDER
This matter comes before the Court upon review of Intervenor’s Partially
Unopposed Motion for Enlargement of Time to File Objections to Report and
Recommendation (Doc. 113) filed on February 7, 2017.
On January 31, 2017, the Court entered a Report and Recommendation
concerning The Seminole Tribe of Florida Inc.’s (“STOFI”) Motion to Intervene as
Defendant, Reopen Interpleader, and Set Aside Judgment (Doc. 69).

Any objections

to said Report and Recommendation are due on or before February 14, 2017. STOFI
requests a ten-day extension of this deadline, citing deadlines in other matters with
which its counsel must comply.

Doc. 113 at 1.

The Court finds good cause to grant

a limited extension, only up to and including February 21, 2017.

For the benefit of the remaining parties, the Court is mindful that STOFI’s
motion was filed on June 24, 2016.

The Court granted several extensions to the

parties involved until the motion became ripe on December 19, 2016.

As the Court

must proceed with a just and speedy determination of the motion, any future requests
for extensions to file objections or replies to objections are strongly disfavored.
ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby
ORDERED:
1.

Intervenor’s Partially Unopposed Motion for Enlargement of Time to

File Objections to Report and Recommendation (Doc. 113) is GRANTED in part.

The

Seminole Tribe of Florida Inc. shall have up to and including February 21, 2017 to
file any objections to the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 112).
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on this 8th day of February,
2017.
