Date Filed Document Text
August 22, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 19 PAPERLESS ORDER: In light of the parties' Joint Notice of Settlement [DE 17], it is hereby ORDERED that the scheduling conference currently scheduled for August 23, 2022 at 11:30 a.m. is CANCELED. Signed by Magistrate Judge William Matthewman on 8/22/2022. (cpe)
August 22, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 18 PAPERLESS ORDER SETTING DEADLINE TO FILE CLOSING DOCUMENTS. The Parties notified the Court that the they have settled this matter (DE #17 ), and the Court congratulates them on reaching an amicable resolution of this case. The Parties shall file a joint stipulation of dismissal within 10 days, or no later than August 29, 2022. The Parties seek until September 28, 2022 to file a joint stipulation of dismissal so as to complete the terms of their settlement agreement. I view that as unnecessary, as the Court will retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the Parties' settlement agreement if the Parties so request. The Parties may make such a request via motion prior to the filing of a self-executing stipulation of dismissal, or they may make the request contemporaneous with a conditionally-worded joint stipulation of dismissal. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 8/22/2022. (ifr)

August 15, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 15 PAPERLESS ORDER SETTING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE: Scheduling Conference set for 8/23/2022 at 11:30 AM in the West Palm Beach Division before U.S. Magistrate Judge William Matthewman to take place via Zoom Video Teleconference (VTC). Any motions to modify the existing trial date should be filed two (2) business days prior to the Scheduling Conference. Motions to modify the trial date must specifically state the basis for the request, including detailed factual support, and must provide a compelling reason. The parties are further advised that the Court is strongly disinclined to modify the trial date based upon the scheduling "tracks" contained within the Local Rules and/or based upon vague references to the complexities of the case. To log in through ZoomGov Meeting, use Meeting ID: 160 540 3826 and Passcode: 246129. All counsel shall appear by both audio and video. Because of the expedited nature of the conference, the parties are relieved of Local Rule 16.1(b)'s conference report requirement. Signed by Magistrate Judge William Matthewman on 8/15/2022. (no00)
August 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER REFERRING CASE to Magistrate Judge William Matthewman for Scheduling Conference, and Setting Trial Date.

August 5, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 13 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #12 Expedited Joint Motion for a Third Extension of Time. The Parties jointly move the court for a seven-day extension of Defendants' deadline to respond to the Complaint, until August 15, 2022. I granted Defendants' prior two requests in part. (DE 9 ; DE 11 ). I credit the Parties' representations that they have nearly finalized their settlement agreement, and I will grant the instant motion in full. However, the Parties are advised that the failure to consummate their settlement by August 15, 2022 will not constitute good cause for a further extension. If the Parties do not reach a settlement on or by August 15, 2022, the Court will expect Defendants to file an appropriate response to the Complaint by that date. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 8/5/2022. (ifr)

July 28, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 11 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #10 Second Motion for Extension of Time. Defendants seek an unopposed 10-day extension of their August 1, 2022 deadline to respond to the Complaint. Defendants represent that the Parties have made significant progress in their settlement discussions and are in the process of drafting a written settlement agreement. In light of these representations, I find good cause to grant an additional week extension. Defendants' deadline to respond to the Complaint is therefore extended until August 8, 2022. The Parties are further advised that once a settlement is reached, they shall promptly file a Notice of Settlement in the court record. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 7/28/2022. (ifr)
July 28, 2022 Filing 10 Second MOTION for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply/Answer as to #1 Complaint, Unopposed, by Colin Todaro, Todaro Bro, Inc.. (Attachments: #1 Text of Proposed Order)(Spielman, Darren)
July 21, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 9 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #8 Joint Stipulation for Extension of Time. The Parties submit a joint stipulation for a one-month extension of time for Defendants to respond to the Complaint. This is an improper method of seeking an extension of a deadline. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(b)(1) ("A request for a court order must be made by motion," which must "state with particularity the grounds for seeking the order."). For the sake of judicial economy, I will construe this joint stipulation as a motion. However, going forward, the Parties shall ensure that requests for court orders are made in the procedurally proper manner. In support of their request, the Parties represent that Defendants' counsel was recently retained and requires additional time to prepare an adequate response. Motions for extensions of time must set forth good cause supported by specific facts. The generalized representations set forth in the Parties' stipulation fail to meet the good cause standard, and I am disinclined to delay this litigation by a month without compelling reasons. I will grant a one-week extension. Nothing beyond that is warranted on this record. Accordingly, Defendants' deadline to respond to the Complaint is August 1, 2022. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 7/21/2022. (kal)
