UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION
COLLEEN DENNIS,
Plaintiff,

Case No.: 8:17-cv-2022-T-36AAS
CARSON SMITHFIELD, LLC,
Defendant.
______________________________________/
ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiff Colleen Dennis’ (“Plaintiff’s”) Unopposed Motion to
Enlarge Time to Conduct Case Management Conference. (Doc. 14).
On August 25, 2017, the Court entered its Related Case Order and Notice, which required
the parties to have a Case Management Conference within sixty days after service of the complaint.
(See Doc. 3). Defendant Carson Smithfield, LLC (“Defendant”) was served with process on
September 5, 2017 (Doc. 5), making November 6, 20017 the deadline to conduct the Case
Management Conference and then file the Case Management Report within fourteen days
thereafter. See Local Rule 3.05(c)(2)(B).
“When an act may or must be done within a specified time, the court may, for good cause,
extend the time[.]” Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1). Here, Plaintiff asserts that the parties are undertaking
exchanges of documents in an effort to expedite litigation. (Doc. 14 at 2–3). Also, Plaintiff posits
that more time is needed before preparing and filing the Case Management Report as Plaintiff
needs time to serve a subpoena on her telecommunications provider and obtain independent third
party records. (Id.). Defendant agrees with Plaintiff on the resolution of this motion. (Id. at 1).
1
Upon consideration, the Courts finds that Plaintiff has sufficiently demonstrated the
requisite good cause to extend the deadline to conduct the Case Management Conference and then
file the Case Management Report. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Unopposed
Motion to Enlarge Time to Conduct Case Management Conference (Doc. 14) is GRANTED. The
parties shall conduct a Case Management Conference by December 18, 2017, and then file the
Case Management Report within 14 days thereafter.
DONE AND ORDERED in Tampa, Florida on this 18th day of October, 2017.
