Date Filed Document Text
March 1, 2022 Filing 15 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION re #12 MOTION to Set Aside Default. Recommending that the Court grant the Motion. Objections to R&R due by 3/8/2022. Signed by Magistrate Judge Chris M. McAliley on 3/1/2022. See attached document for full details. (rr00)
February 24, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 14 PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS MATTER is before the Court on #9 Defendants' Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to the Complaint. On February 2, 2022, Plaintiff filed #6 #7 proof of service, reflecting service on Defendants on January 31, 2022, making their responses/answers to #1 the Complaint due on or before February 22, 2022. However, as discussed in the Court's February 23, 2022 Paperless Order Directing Clerk to Enter Default, Defendants did not appear or file a responsive pleading before this date. Further, #5 the Court's Order of Referral and Notice of Court Practice and Procedures ordered the Parties to "adhere to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules for the Southern District of Florida, Judge Williams's Court Practices and Procedures, and Judge McAliley's Discovery Procedures." The Court's Practices and Procedures state in relevant part, "Absent an emergency, requests for extensions of time must be presented to the Court, by motion, no later than 48 hours prior to the deadline from which the Parties are seeking relief." Defendants did not file the #9 instant Motion for Extension until the day after the February 22, 2022 deadline and until after the Court directed the Clerk of Court to enter default. Therefore, #9 the Motion for Extension is improper and untimely. Further, Defendants raised the same issues in their #12 Motion to Set Aside Default, which has now been referred to Magistrate Judge McAliley for a report and recommendation. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that #9 Defendants' Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to the Complaint is DENIED. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams on 2/24/2022. (sgm)
