Date Filed Document Text
October 13, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 11 ELECTRONIC ORDER. Defendants #10 Motion for Extension of Time until 11/11/2022 (the Motion) is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff moves for an extension of time until November 11, 2022 to respond to Plaintiffs Complaint. Doc. 10 at 1. The Complaint was served upon Defendant on September 21, 2022, and Defendants answer was therefore due twenty-one days later, on October 12, 2022. See Doc. 7. On the day of the deadline, Defendant filed the instant Motion. Local Rule 7 provides, in relevant part, that [a]ll motions for extensions of time . . . will not be granted except for good cause. The good cause standard requires a particularized showing that the time limitation in question cannot reasonably be met despite the diligence of the party seeking the extension. D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 7(b)(1). In addition, All motions for extensions of time shall include a statement of the movant that (1) the movant has inquired of all non-moving parties and there is agreement or objection to the motion, or that (2) despite diligent effort, including making the inquiry in sufficient time to afford non-movant a reasonable opportunity to respond, the movant cannot ascertain the position(s) of the non-movant(s). All such motions shall also indicate the number of motions for extension of time that have previously been filed by the movant with respect to the same time limitation. D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 7(b)(2). Finally, All motions for extension of time shall be filed at least three (3) business days before the deadline sought to be extended, except in cases in which compelling circumstances warranting an extension arise during the three days before the deadline. Any motion for extension of time filed fewer than three business days before the deadline sought to be extended shall, in addition to satisfying all other requirements of this Rule, set forth reasons why the motion was not filed at least three business days before the deadline in question. D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 7(b)(3). Defendants Motion fails to meet the foregoing requirements. Defense counsel does not make the particularized showing required to adequately demonstrate its diligence in meeting the deadline set by the Court and good cause for being unable to do so, stating only in general terms that the extension is necessary to enable counsel to obtain the information and documentation necessary to prepare a response and is necessary to investigate the facts and circumstances of the issues presented . . . in order to prepare an appropriate response. Doc. 10 at 2. Nor has he shown the diligence required in ascertaining the position of opposing counsel, including that his inquiry afforded opposing counsel a reasonable opportunity to respond; he gives no indication at all when opposing counsels position on the proposed extension was sought. See Doc. 10 at 2. Furthermore, the Motion was made fewer than three days before the deadline sought to be extended, with no reference to the Local Rules provisions regarding such motions and no showing of compelling circumstances for the delay. See generally Doc. 10. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiffs motion for failure to adhere to Local Rule 7s requirements. As a courtesy to Defendant, and in light of the fact that due to Defendants same-day Motion the deadline has already passed, the deadline to respond to the Complaint is extended briefly, until October 19, 2022. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Charles S. Haight, Jr. on October 13, 2022. (Eubank, J.)
