SAVANNAH DIVISION
LM INSURANCE CORPORATION,
Plaintiff,
v.
ROOF CRAFTERS, INC. a/k/a
ROOFCRAFTERS, INC. and
DAVID OWENS,
Defendants.
ROOF CRAFTERS, INC., and DAVID
OWENS,

Case No. CV415-116

Third-Party Plaintiffs,
v.
J.C.B. ROOFING LLC, J.C.B.
ROOFING-II, LLC, THOMAS
KREJCI and BOBBY MYERS,
Third-Party Defendants.

ORDER
Over five months ago in this contract dispute, the Court granted
defendants’ motion to join three third-party defendants. Doc. 28. It then
delayed the deadline for submitting a proposed scheduling order until
fourteen days after the last of the new defendants answered. Doc. 45.

That happened on November 30, 2015, see docs. 50 & 51, but the parties
never submitted the proposed scheduling order.
Instead, they filed a Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) report on December 15,
2015 that requested discovery commence on January 1, 2016. Doc. 52.
They also noted that the “[u]nusually large number of parties [and]
[u]nusually large number of claims [and] defenses” justified a request for
additional discovery time. But they never said how much.
Hence, the Court ORDERS the parties to, within seven days of the
date this Order is served, comply (finally) with the Court’s previous
extension (doc. 45) and submit a proposed scheduling order. That
proposal will use January 1, 2016 as discovery’s commencement and
calculate remaining deadlines accordingly.

SO ORDERED , this 14th day of April, 2016.
