Defendant Huston has moved for dismissal. Plaintiff has Objected and seeks Relief from the Deadline for Response to the Motion to Dismiss Huston. Plaintiff contends that the Motion to Dismiss is not timely filed until such time that the Court has decided pending Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint and Plaintiff's Motion to Amend to a Second Amended Complaint. Mr. Huston's motion is not premature. Plaintiff's office served the First Amended Complaint upon Mr. Huston on or about November 2 ,2006, which is approximately two (2) months after Plaintiff's unauthorized filing of a Second Amended Complaint. Pursuant to the mandates of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and consistent with the dates set forth in Plaintiff's Amended Summons, Defendant has responded timely to Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint. Had Defendant Huston not filed his timely response Plaintiff may well have moved for default. Mr. Huston's Motion to Dismiss is not "duplicative" of any other matter. As a party to the action, Mr. Huston is required to interpose his own response. Of course it is similar to Responses of other Defendants' in that the response is to the same pleading.
