ORDER

On July 24, 2017, plaintiffs moved for summary judgment as to damages against defendants
Compassionate Home Care Services, Inc., Carol Anders, and Ryan Santiago [D.E. 188-191].
Defendants did not timely respond. Instead, on August 21, 2017, defendants moved to strike the
summary-judgment filings as untimely [D.E. 192-193]. On September 8, 2017, plaintiffs responded
in opposition to the motion to strike [D.E. 197] and moved to amend the scheduling order to extend
the deadline for filing dispositive motions [D .E. 195-196]. Plaintiffs ask the court to grant the
motion and conclude that the summary-judgment motion is timely.
The court has considered the motions under the governing standards. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
16(b)(4). The court DENIES defendants' motion to strike [D.E. 192] and GRANTS plaintiffs'
motion to amend the scheduling order [D.E. 195]. Defendants shall respond to plaintiffs' motion
for summary judgment by September 25, 2017. If plaintiffs choose to reply, they shall do so by
October 2, 2017.

SO ORDERED. This __!l_ day of September 2017.
