discretion . . . order the period enlarged if request therefor is made before the expiration of the period originally prescribed . . . ." Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b). Plaintiff states that the parties have reached a settlement agreement and a stipulation for dismissal of TRANS UNION LLC is expected to be filed within the next ten (10) days. The parties wish to reduce fees and expenses to their clients since a settlement has been reached. While extensions of time are generally disfavored, Plaintiff has shown good cause for this extension of time. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiff's Agreed Motion for Extension of Time to File Joint Pretrial Stipulation (DE 48) is GRANTED. The Court expects the parties to file either a stipulation of dismissal of the case or the Joint Pretrial Stipulation by September 27, 2007. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at West Palm Beach, FL, this 19th day of September, 2007. ________________________________ DONALD M. MIDDLEBROOKS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
