April 19, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 43 TEXT ONLY ORDER granting #42 Motion for Extension of Time to Answer. Because the answer deadline has passed, the court must make a finding that the defendant failed to act because of excusable neglect under Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(B). "Excusable neglect encompasses four factors: prejudice to the non-moving party, the length of the delay, the movant's good faith, and the reason for the delay." Albright ex rel. Doe v. Mountain Home Sch. Dist., 926 F.3d 942, 951 (8th Cir. 2019). Because there is no danger of prejudice to the opposing party, the length of the delay is minimal, and the movant acts in good faith, the Court finds that this defendant's untimeliness constitutes excusable neglect. The motion is therefore granted, and Defendant HDI Global Specialty SE's time to file a responsive pleading is extended to April 28, 2023. Signed by Honorable P. K. Holmes III on April 19, 2023.(ecp)(ecp)
