Filing 20 PAPERLESS ORDER: granting the Defendants' unopposed motion for extension of time to respond to the Plaintiff's complaint. #16 . The Defendants' response is now due September 27, 2021. The Court notes, however, that in its motion the Defendants state that they "intend to file motions to dismiss" and "will seek to coordinate their motions to dismiss and file only two motions... instead of each defendant (or defendant family) filing its own motion." (ECF No. 14, at 2.) This statement appears to evidence that the Defendants have not reviewed the Court's order requiring discovery and scheduling conference #11 . This order states that in a case with multiple plaintiffs or defendants, "the parties must file joint motions and consolidated responses and replies unless there are clear conflicts of position. If conflicts of position exist, the parties must explain the conflicts in their separate filings." If conflicts of position exist, the parties are free to file separate motions as needed, provided such conflicts of position are explained in the filings. Alternatively, the Defendants may move for additional pages if needed to file a consolidated brief, provided such motion complies with Southern District of Florida's CM/ECF Administrative Procedures Rule 3I(1) which states, in part: "If a document to be filed requires a motion requesting leave of Court (e.g.,... a document exceeding the page limitation), the proposed document shall be submitted as a PDF attachment to the motion." This allows the Court to review the proposed filing to evaluate whether excess pages are in fact necessary. Signed by Judge Robert N. Scola, Jr. (sda) |
