November 5, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 29 ENDORSED ORDER granting in part and denying in part Defendant's Unopposed Motion to Extend the Deadlines in the FLSA Scheduling Order and Opposed Motion to Excuse the Requirement for the Parties to Mediate under the FLSA Scheduling Order (Doc. #28). The Court will extend by 30 days all deadlines set forth in the FLSA Scheduling Order (Doc. #18). Accordingly, the parties' production deadline is now December 9, 2019, Plaintiffs' answers to the Court's Interrogatories are now due on December 23, 2019, and Defendant's Verified Summary will be due 15 days thereafter. However, despite Defendant's arguments, the Court believes that mediation soon after the initial discovery set forth in the FLSA Scheduling Order is beneficial in FLSA cases. Thus, the Court still requires the parties to participate in court-ordered mediation as contemplated in the FLSA Scheduling Order. The Court will, however, extend the mediation deadline by 30 days, to January 22, 2020. The parties' notice of mediation is due on or before November 8, 2019. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 11/5/2019. (SGM)

In that Order, the Court also reminded counsel that the Court's permission is required to extend deadlines imposed by the Court or the Rules. The Order stated that if a defendant "needs additional time to respond to the complaint, that defendant should file a motion requesting an extension of time, rather than informally seeking an extension of time from plaintiff's counsel."

Plaintiff is directed to promptly file a document establishing service of process, such as a server's affidavit, with the Court. If Defendant seeks additional time to respond to the Complaint beyond the time allowed under the Rules, it must request an extension from this Court. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 9/27/2019. (SGM)
