June 14, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 11 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #10 Defendant's Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. Defendant's deadline to respond to the Complaint is June 20, 2022, a deadline that was previously extended from June 9, 2022. (DE 9 ). Defendant seeks a 30-day extension of this deadline, citing (1) ongoing settlement discussions between the Parties; (2) indemnification with multiple parties; and (3) in-house counsel's pre-planned vacation. Based on these circumstances, and in the interest of promoting an amicable resolution of this matter, I find good cause to grant Defendant's Motion. (DE #10 ). Accordingly, Defendant's deadline to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint is extended to July 20, 2022. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 6/14/2022. (jnk)

June 3, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 9 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #8 Defendant's Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. Defendant's deadline to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint is June 9, 2022. Defendant seeks a 30-day extension of this deadline, citing only that "Defendant requires more time to fully investigate the allegations in the Complaint." (DE #8 at para. 2). The basis for the requested relief is not well-explained and the motion does not provide me with sufficient facts to discern whether good cause exists. However, because the Motion is unopposed I will grant it in part and extend Defendant's deadline to respond to the Complaint to June 20, 2022. The Parties are advised that future motions for extension of time will be denied, even if unopposed, unless they establish good cause supported by specific facts. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 6/3/2022. (kal)
