March 21, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 10 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #9 Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. Defendant Kaufman Lynn Construction, Inc. ("Kaufman") seeks an unopposed extension of time from March 21, 2022 until April 20, 2022. In support, Kaufman represents that counsel was recently retained and requires additional time to investigate the allegations and respond to the complaint. Motions for extension of time must set forth good cause supported by specific facts. The generalized grounds set forth in this motion do not suffice to apprise the court as to whether the good cause standard has been met. Nevertheless, because the motion is unopposed, I will grant the requested relief in part. Accordingly, Kaufman shall respond to the complaint on or by April 4, 2022. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 3/21/2022. (kal)
