September 24, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ENDORSED ORDER: Plaintiff has responded to the Court's show cause order, stating that he and Defendants have agreed to extend the time for Defendants to respond to the complaint to October 1, 2020. (Doc. #15). This is improper. Extensions merely agreed upon by the parties have no effect on the Court. Only the Court may grant an extension of a deadline. Thus, the City of Lakeland and Corey Suttle's answers to the complaint are still late and Local Rule 1.07(b) requires Plaintiff to promptly apply to the Clerk for entry of default. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 9/24/2020. (DMD)

Thus, over 21 days have passed since these Defendants were served. Yet, neither Defendant has filed an answer or moved for an extension of time to respond to the amended complaint. And Plaintiff has not promptly applied to the Clerk for entry of default pursuant to Local Rule 1.07(b). Accordingly, Plaintiff is directed to show cause by September 30, 2020, why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute pursuant to Local Rule 3.10(a). Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 9/23/2020. (DMD)
September 14, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 13 ENDORSED ORDER: Counsel are directed to meet and confer, in person or by telephone, and by October 2, 2020, file a completed Case Management Report. This document can be found on Judge Covington's page of the Court's website at www.flmd.uscourts.gov. Please be advised that the Court's Case Management Report form is different from those used by other judges. Local Rule 3.05(c)(2)(E), M.D. Fla., explains that most track two cases, like the present case, "will be tried within one year after the filing of the complaint." To accomplish this goal, the Court believes that six to eight months is a sufficient period of time to conduct discovery. If the parties believe that more time than eight months will be needed to complete discovery, the parties should provide the Court with a detailed explanation as to why additional time is needed and a timeline for the discovery that is planned. The Court will then determine whether a Case Management Hearing is necessary before entry of a Case Management and Scheduling Order. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 9/14/2020.
