Filing 8
ENDORSED ORDER: The parties have filed a "joint stipulation for extension of time to allow leave to amend plaintiffs' complaint" (Doc. #7), representing that the parties have agreed to a 30-day extension of time for Plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. 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. As such, a party seeking an extension must file a proper motion for extension of time that satisfies the requirements of Local Rule 3.01, rather than a "stipulation." Nevertheless, in the interest of efficiency, the Court will construe the "stipulation" as an unopposed motion for extension of time to file an amended complaint and grants in part the construed motion. Plaintiffs' amended complaint is due by October 15, 2021. The parties completed Case Management Report (see Doc. # 3) is now due on November 5, 2021. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 9/28/2021. (SGM)
