ORDER Denying Plaintiff's 9 Motion to Extend Time to Amend Complaint and Add Parties. Signed by District Judge Matthew F. Leitman. (Monda, H)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
TERRY LEE MOCK,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 14-14924
Hon. Matthew F. Leitman

v.
CITIMORTGAGE, INC.,
Defendant.
_________________________________/
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO
AMEND COMPLAINT AND ADD PARTIES
Plaintiff filed this action in state court on November 25, 2014, and
Defendants removed the action to this Court on December 30, 2014. On January
21, 2015, this Court entered a scheduling order giving Plaintiff until February 21,
2015, to file an Amended Complaint without further leave from the Court.
Plaintiff seeks to extend that date by 30 days. The Court denies the request.
Plaintiff may file a motion for leave to amend the Complaint if Plaintiff develops
sufficient support for such a motion. At that time, the Court will evaluate whether
to permit an amended pleading. The Court sees no basis to extend the originallyset deadline at this point. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion to extend time to amend
complaint and add parties is DENIED without prejudice to Plaintiff's right, at a
later point, to file a properly-supported and properly-formatted motion to amend.
1

Any such motion shall strictly comply with the requirements of the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure and this Court's Local Rules.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
