November 13, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 17 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #16 Defendant's Motion for Extension of Time. On November 12, 2020, Defendant filed a "Motion for Leave to File an Untimely Motion to Dismiss," which I have construed as a Motion for Extension of Time. The deadline for Defendant to respond to the Complaint (DE #1 ) was November 3, 2020. (DE #9 ). Now, more than one week later, Defendant seeks an extension "to permit [him] to file the attached proposed Motion to Dismiss," citing that counsel was retained on November 6, 2020, after unsuccessful attempts at settlement negotiations. (DE #16 ). In light of the Parties' attempts to amicably resolve this matter and the fact that this extension is unopposed, I will grant the Motion. Therefore, the deadline for Defendant to respond to the Complaint (DE #1 ) is extended from November 3, 2020, to November 13, 2020. I note that Defendant has appended a draft of the Motion to Dismiss to the Motion for Extension of Time. Defendant is advised that the Motion to Dismiss must be separately re-filed in the court record and such Motion will be deemed timely if filed on November 13, 2020. No other litigation deadlines are modified or amended as a result of this Order. Additionally, I note that the Motion represents that the Parties previously agreed to an extension of this deadline without moving for an extension of time. (DE #16 ). The Parties are advised that such agreements do not extend deadlines; rather, a litigation deadline may be extended only by court order and upon a Party's well-founded motion demonstrating that despite its diligence, it was unable to comply with the operative deadline. Therefore, going forward, counsel must ensure that court-authorized extensions are sought in advance of the deadline sought to be extended. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 11/13/2020. (kal)
