Filing 10
PAPERLESS ORDER granting #9 Defendant, Apotex Corp.'s, Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Complaint. Defendant shall respond to the Complaint by April 2, 2026. While this is a very new case and the Court recognizes there is work to be done to resolve the parties' differences, the Court cautions the parties that eleventh-hour motions for extension of time are disfavored in this Court and a basis for denial of same. See Compere v. Nusret Miami, LLC, 2020 WL 2844888, *2 (S.D. Fla. May 7, 2020) ("A motion for extension of time is not self-executing; no motion is, unless expressly provided for by the applicable rule. Yet, by filing these motions on or near the last day, and then sitting idle 'pending the Court's disposition of the motion,' parties essentially grant their own motion. The Court will not condone this.") (internal citations omitted). Signed by Judge Raag Singhal on 3/20/2026. (rg01)
