July 21, 2021 Filing 18 NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal With Prejudice by Howard Cohan (Sconzo, Gregory)
July 16, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 17 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #16 Plaintiff's Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. Plaintiff seeks a 5-day extension of the deadline for Plaintiff to file a notice of voluntary dismissal, citing that although the Parties have agreed upon the terms of a settlement, "they have not yet finalized a Settlement Agreement and require additional time to finalize the agreement." (DE #16 ). I will grant the Motion and extend the deadline for Plaintiff to file a notice of voluntary dismissal to July 21, 2021. As a result, I will also extend the deadline for Defendants to respond to the Complaint to July 21, 2021. However, these deadlines will not be extended further absent a compelling showing of good cause supported by specific facts. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 7/16/2021. (apo)

July 7, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 15 PAPERLESS ORDER SETTING DEADLINE FOR FILING CLOSING DOCUMENTS AND EXTENDING DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT. Defendants have filed a Notice of Settlement (DE #14 ), and the Court congratulates the Parties on their amicable resolution of this matter. Plaintiff is therefore directed to file a notice of voluntary dismissal within 10 days, which is on or before July 16, 2021. Until closing documents are filed, the Court expects compliance with all litigation deadlines. However, in light of the pending settlement, I will sua sponte extend the deadline for Defendants to respond to the Complaint to July 16, 2021. Additionally, the Parties are advised that they may move for the Court to retain jurisdiction upon closing the case if necessary to enforce the terms of their settlement agreement. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 7/7/2021. (apo)

June 17, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 13 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #12 Defendants' Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. The deadline for Defendants to respond to the Complaint is June 22, 2021. (DE #5 ; DE #6 ; DE #7 ; DE #8 ). Defendants seek a two-week extension, citing that counsel "has recently been retained by Defendants" and "require[s] additional time to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint," and representing that the requested extension would allow the Parties to "explore the potential for early resolution." (DE #12 at 1-2). In the interest of encouraging an amicable resolution of this matter, I will grant the Motion and extend the deadline for Defendants to respond to the Complaint to July 6, 2021. However, should the Parties fail to amicably resolve this matter, that fact alone shall not constitute good cause to further extend this deadline. No other litigation deadlines are modified or amended as a result of this Order. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 6/17/2021. (apo)
