Siever et al v. BWGaskets, Inc. et al

Filing 44

ORDER granting 41 Motion to extend time. Signed by Senior Judge Patricia C. Fawsett on 5/26/2009. (CHP)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION
ROBERT SIEVER, GINNEY SIEVER, Plaintiffs, -vsBWGASKETS, INC., BRUCE M. WILLIAMS, ANN P. WILLIAMS, Defendants. ______________________________________ Case No. 6:08-cv-1388-Orl-19GJK

ORDER
This case comes before the Court on the Motion of Plaintiffs for a Seven Day Extension to Submit Expert Witness Reports (Doc. No. 41, filed Apr. 29, 2009), and the Response of Defendants to Plaintiffs' Motion (Doc. No. 43, filed May 8, 2009). Plaintiffs request a seven day extension to submit an expert witness report on the basis of their expert needing to meet other commitments related to the recent April 15 tax return deadline. (Doc. No. 41.) Defendants object only to the extent that this extension may prejudice their ability to meet the discovery and dispositive motions deadlines; as a result, they ask the Court to prospectively extend these deadlines too. (Doc. No. 43.) The Court determines that Defendants have presented good cause for the extension within the meaning of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16. If the granting of Defendants' request actually prejudices Plaintiffs in meeting the discovery and dispositive motions deadlines, they may, in the future, file a motion requesting an extension of time for these deadlines. An amended Case Management and Scheduling Order will follow this Order. DONE and ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida on May 26, 2009.
