Miranda v. Strike, LLC et al

Filing 16

ORDER FINDING GOOD CAUSE UNDER RULE 16 by Magistrate Judge William P. Lynch. (mej)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
JAIME MIRANDA,
Plaintiff,
v.

CV 16-1062 JCH/WPL

STRIKE, LLC, and JOEL BENAVIDES,
Defendants.

ORDER
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(2) requires me to enter a scheduling order within
90 days after any defendant has been served with the complaint or within 60 days after any
defendant has appeared, unless I find good cause for delay. In this case, there is a pending
motion to remand that, if granted, would return the case to state court. (Doc. 4.) I held a Status
Conference with the parties on December 16, 2016. Under the circumstances, and after
discussion with the parties, I find that the pending motion to remand constitutes good cause to
delay entry of a scheduling order. I will enter an Initial Scheduling Order, if appropriate, upon
resolution of the motion to remand. The parties may contact my chambers should circumstances
change.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
