December 21, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 9 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #8 Defendant Blue Lagoon Payroll, LLC's ("Blue Lagoon") Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. The deadline for Blue Lagoon to respond to the Complaint (DE #1 ) is December 21, 2020. (DE #5 ). The deadline for Defendant Driftwood Hospitality Management, LLC, which is represented by the same counsel as Blue Lagoon, to respond to the Complaint (DE #1 ) is December 29, 2020. (DE #6 ; see DE #8 at 1). Blue Lagoon seeks an extension until December 29, 2020, citing that counsel "was recently retained and is still in the process of obtaining documents and information... necessary to prepare and file both Defendants' responses to Plaintiff's Complaint." (DE #8 at 2). In light of the brief nature of the requested extension and the fact that it is unopposed, as well as Defendants' counsel's representation that it intends to file one response on behalf of Defendants in order to preserve judicial resources, I find good cause to grant the Motion. Therefore, the deadline for Blue Lagoon to respond to the Complaint (DE #1 ) is extended from December 21, 2020, to December 29, 2020. No other litigation deadlines are modified or amended as a result of this Order. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 12/21/2020. (kal)
