PAPERLESS ORDER SETTING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE: Scheduling Conference set for 12/19/2022 at 2:30 PM 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 12/5/2022. (cpe)

Filing 6
PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #5 Motion for Extension of Time. Defendant seeks an extension of time to respond to the complaint from December 6, 2022 to December 23, 2022. Plaintiff does not oppose the Motion. In support, Defendant's counsel represents that he was only recently retained and requires additional time to review the underlying facts. Motions for extension of time must set forth good cause supported by specific facts. Generalized references to counsel's preparation and the timing of counsel's retention fall short of the good cause standard. Notwithstanding, because the Motion is unopposed, I will grant the requested relief in part. Accordingly, Defendant must respond to the complaint on or by December 16, 2022. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 12/2/2022. (kal)
