Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No: 2:17-cv-42-FtM-29CM

PICKLE PRO, LLC and TODD
PREE,
Defendants.
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court upon review of Plaintiffs [sic] Amended
Motion for Enlargement of Time to Respond to Defendant’s [sic] Complaint (Doc. 12)
filed on March 28, 2017. Defendants seek an order enlarging their time by thirty
days to file responses to Plaintiffs’ complaint. The Return of Service states that
Defendants were served on March 2, 2017. Doc. 9. Defendants counsel states that
he was retained on March 21, 2017 and needs the additional time to investigate and
prepare proper responses. Doc. 12 at 1.
It appears that Defendants anticipate challenging sufficiency of process as the
parties were unable to agree on a resolution of this motion because “Plaintiff’s counsel
required that Defendants waive the requirement of service of process which
defendants were unwilling to do.” Id. Nevertheless, the Court expects counsel to
be able to resolve reasonable requests for extension of time. Because of the early
stage of this case and the reasonable extension sought in light of Defendants’

counsel’s recent retention, the Court finds good cause to grant the requested
extension.
ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby
ORDERED:
Plaintiff's Amended Motion for Enlargement of Time to Respond to
Defendant's Complaint (Doc. 12) is GRANTED. Defendants shall have up to and
including April 21, 2017 to respond to Plaintiffs’c complaint.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on this 3rd day of April, 2017.
