Date Filed Document Text
May 23, 2024 Filing 12 MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court is Defendants' Opposed Motion to Reset Scheduling Conference and Extend Other Deadlines. ECF #11 . Defendants request that the Court reset the June 12, 2024, Scheduling Conference because the responsive pleading deadline is currently two days before the Conference, on June 10, 2024. Id. It is the Courts general practice to hold an initial conference in its cases within the first two months after they are filed. It is not necessary that a responsive pleading be filed ahead of a scheduling conference, and the Court routinely holds scheduling conferences in cases where such pleadings have yet to be filed. That the responsive pleading deadline in this case is two days before the Scheduling Conference does not constitute good cause to reset the Conference or its related deadlines. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1). Accordingly, Defendants' Motion, ECF #11 , is denied. Entered by Chief Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty on 05/23/2024. Text Only Entry (mehlc7)
