October 6, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 10 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #8 Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Complaint. Defendants seek a twenty-day extension of the deadline to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint from October 5, 2020 to October 25, 2020. In support, Defendants cite a generalized need for "additional time to properly investigate the claims made within Plaintiff's Complaint and respond accordingly." (DE #9 at 2). Plaintiff's counsel also represents that she "was recently retained." (Id.). Motions for extensions of time may not be premised upon conclusory assertions or vague generalities; rather, they must set forth good cause supported by specific facts. Although Defendants' Motion is unopposed, because it fails to set forth specific facts by which the Court may evaluate whether good cause exists to grant the requested relief, I will only grant the requested relief in part. Accordingly, the deadline for Defendants to respond to the Complaint is extended to October 15, 2020. Future requests for extensions will be denied unless the moving party sets forth specific facts to establish that a particular deadline could not be met despite diligent efforts. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 10/6/2020. (kal)
