SOUTHERN DIVISION
F.P. DEVELOPMENT, LLC,
Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant,
Case No. 18-CV-13690
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
vs.
CHARTER TOWNSHIP
OF CANTON,
Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff.
__________________________/
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT/COUNTER-PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION FOR ENGLARGMENT OF TIME (ECF No. 25)
and SCHEDULING ORDER
On July 16, 2019, this court entered a scheduling order setting forth a
briefing schedule for the filing of dispositive motions. Pursuant to that
order, cross-motions were due to be filed on September 30, 2019. On that
date, Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant F.P. Development, LLC timely filed its
motion for summary judgment. On that same day, Defendant/CounterPlaintiff Charter Township of Canton filed a motion for a one-week
extension of time to file its dispositive motion on the grounds that there
have been personnel changes in the office causing case reassignments
that have added to her already busy litigation docket. Plaintiff opposes the
extension on the grounds that it also has a busy litigation docket, discovery
-1
closed three months ago, and allowing the eleventh-hour extension will
prejudice Plaintiff because Defendant will have the benefit of Plaintiff’s
argument for seven days before filing its opening brief. While the court is
certainly sympathetic to Plaintiff who met the court’s scheduling deadlines
and was deprived of the benefit Defendant now seeks, Defendant has
demonstrated good cause for the extension sought and Defendant’s motion
for an enlargement of time (ECF No. 25) is GRANTED. No further
extensions on Defendant’s behalf shall be considered. The new briefing
schedule is as follows:
As to Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 26):
Defendant’s Response is to be filed by October 30, 2019
Plaintiff’s Reply is to be filed by November 27, 2019.
As to Defendant’s motion for summary judgment which must be filed
by October 7, 2019:
Plaintiff’s Response is to be filed by November 6, 2019
Defendant’s Reply is due by December 4, 2019.
Oral argument shall be heard on January 23, 2020 at 10:00 a.m.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: October 7, 2019
