UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT MYERS DIVISION
BERNICE BATTLE and WILLIE
BATTLE,
Plaintiffs,
v.
Case No: 2:15-cv-563-FtM-38CM
AMERICAN HOME MORTGAGE
SERVICING INC.,
Defendant.
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court upon review of Defendant’s Unopposed
Motion for Extension of Time of Mediation Deadline (Doc. 69) filed on September 14,
2016. Plaintiffs do not oppose the requested relief. Doc. 69 at 4. Defendant seeks
to extend the mediation deadline by sixty (60) days. Id. at 3.
District courts have broad discretion when managing their cases in order to
ensure that the cases move to a timely and orderly conclusion. Chrysler Int’l Corp.
v. Chemaly, 280 F.3d 1358, 1360 (11th Cir. 2002). Rule 16 requires a showing of
good cause for modification of a court’s scheduling order. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4).
“This good cause standard precludes modification unless the schedule cannot be met
despite the diligence of the party seeking the extension.” Sosa v. Airprint Sys., Inc.,
133 F. 3d 1417, 1418 (11th Cir. 1998) (internal quotations and citations omitted).
Upon a review of the motion, the Court finds good cause to grant the requested
extension. 1
ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby
ORDERED:
1.
Defendant’s Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time of Mediation
Deadline (Doc. 69) is GRANTED.
2.
The mediation deadline is extended by sixty (60) days. The parties shall
have up to and including November 14, 2016 to hold a mediation conference.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on this 15th day of September,
2016.
