Benshoof v. Admon et al

Filing 42

MINUTE ORDER: Defendant City of Seattle moved to stay the initial scheduling deadlines set by the Court on 10/11/2023. Dkt. No. 34 . The City argues good cause exists to stay the initial deadlines because the Court "has not yet completed its re view under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)" and "has not issued summonses." Plaintiff Kurt Benshoof opposes the motion. Dkt. No. 35 . After the City moved to stay, the Court completed its 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) review and ordered Ben shoof to file an amended complaint within 21 days. Dkt. No. 38 at 6-13, 16. The Court agrees good cause exists to stay the initial deadlines until Benshoof files an amended complaint. Accordingly, the Court STRIKES the initial scheduling deadlines set forth in its Minute Order dated 10/11/2023. Within fourteen days of Benshoof filing an amended complaint, the Court will issue a new order setting initial scheduling deadlines. Authorized by Judge Jamal N Whitehead. (SB)

The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable
Jamal N. Whitehead, United States District Judge:
Defendant City of Seattle moved to stay the initial scheduling deadlines set
by the Court on October 11, 2023. Dkt. No. 34. The City argues good cause exists to
stay the initial deadlines because the Court “has not yet completed its review under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)” and “has not issued summonses.” Id. at 2. Plaintiff Kurt
Benshoof opposes the motion. Dkt. No. 35.
After the City moved to stay, the Court completed its 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)
review and ordered Benshoof to file an amended complaint within 21 days. Dkt. No.
38 at 6-13, 16. The Court agrees good cause exists to stay the initial deadlines until
Benshoof files an amended complaint. Accordingly, the Court STRIKES the initial
scheduling deadlines set forth in its Minute Order dated October 11, 2023. Within
fourteen days of Benshoof filing an amended complaint, the Court will issue a new
order setting initial scheduling deadlines.
Dated this 14th day of November 2023.
