May 20, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 31 ENDORSED ORDER denying #30 Motion for Extension of Time. Setting aside the doubtful merits of Plaintiffs' request for an extension, the request is untimely.

Under these circumstances, the Court may grant a request for additional time only upon a showing of "excusable neglect." Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(B). Plaintiffs have not even acknowledged this neglect in missing the Court's deadline, much less shown that such neglect was excusable. The motion is therefore denied. Signed by Judge Marcia G. Cooke on 5/20/2020. (bai) [Transferred from flsd on 7/7/2020.]
