ORDER granting 280 Motion to Extend Time to Object/Respond. So Ordered by Judge Joseph A. DiClerico, Jr. (lt)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Insight Technology Inc. v. SureFire, LLC ORDER In the trial notice issued on May 12, 2009, the parties and their counsel were informed that under Local Rule 16.2(d), all objections to final pretrial documents were to be filed by September 29, 2009. Under Local Rule 6.1, the time period for Civil No. 04-cv-74-JD
filing the objections is determined under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(a). As a result, the "mailing rule" did not apply.
The parties failed to file their objections on September 29. Instead, they began filing objections during the evening of Friday, October 2, 2009. At 11:00 pm, SureFire filed an
assented-to motion to extend time to file its objections until Sunday, October 4, 2009. late on Sunday night. The purpose of a deadline is to allow the court sufficient time to act without delaying other actions, such as the final pretrial conference, which is scheduled for Friday, October 9, 2009. The parties did not seek leave to file their objections on SureFire then filed its last objection
October 2, which was three days after the deadline. for leave to extend time to October 4 also was late.
The motion
On the other side of the balance is the benefit to the court of a presentation from both sides on the issues raised. Because
SureFire has filed its responses, those will be considered.
Conclusion For the foregoing reasons, the assented-to motion for an extension of time (document no. 280) is granted.
SO ORDERED.
