May 16, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 12 ORDER GRANTING EX PARTE APPLICATION TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND TO INITIAL COMPLAINT #10 by Judge Dolly M. Gee: The Court has reviewed and considered Defendant The Kroger Co.'s ("Krogers") Ex Parte Application to Extend Time to Respond to the Initial Complaint, and the opposition thereto #10 #11 . The Court is disappointed that the parties could not reach an agreement as to a simple extension of time to file an initial response to a complaint without the need for court intervention. This does not reflect well on the parties' counsel. Having duly considered the ex parte application, and good cause appearing therein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Kroger's application is GRANTED. Kroger's deadline to respond to the initial complaint is hereby extended by 30-days, i.e., from May 20, 2019 to June 19, 2019. In the future, the parties shall avoid submitting requests for continuance or extension of time less than five court days prior to the expiration of the scheduled date.
