Case No. 17-2383-JAR

ORDER
Defendant, Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store, has filed a motion for leave to file its
responsive pleading out of time (ECF No. 23). Plaintiff, Melba A. Tilmon, has not
responded to the motion, and the time for doing so has run. Accordingly, the motion is
granted as unopposed.
D. Kan. Rule 7.4(b) provides “[i]f a responsive brief or memorandum is not filed
within the Rule 6.1(d) time requirements, the court will consider and decide the motion as
an uncontested motion. Ordinarily, the court will grant the motion without further notice.”
Defendant’s motion for leave was filed on March 16, 2018. Under D. Kan. Rule 6.1(d)(1),
any response was required to be filed within 14 days, i.e., by March 30, 2018. No response
has been filed. The court considers the instant motion unopposed.
Defendant is directed to file its responsive pleading as a separate docket entry by
April 6, 2018. Because the responsive pleading is a motion to dismiss, plaintiff should be

guided by D. Kan. Rule 6.1(d)(2) in determining her response deadline.
A copy of this order shall be served on plaintiff by regular mail.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated April 2, 2018, at Kansas City, Kansas.
