Filing 28
PAPERLESS ORDER granting #26 Plaintiff's Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. Plaintiff seeks an extension of time to respond to Defendant Project on Predatory Student Lending, Inc's Motion to Dismiss (DE #20 ) from November 21, 2023, to November 28, 2023. Additionally, Plaintiff seeks an extension of time to respond to Mayer Law PLLC's Motion to Dismiss (DE #19 ) from November 17, 2023, to November 28, 2023. Motions for extension of time must set forth good cause supported by specific facts. In support, Plaintiff represents that counsel needs more time to respond to both Motions because they deal with overlapping and complex issues. Additionally, Plaintiff cites to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and the need to avoid unnecessarily duplicative filings. The totality of factors cited leads me to find that good cause exists to grant the extension. Plaintiff shall submit its Response to both Defendants' Motions to Dismiss (DE #19 , DE #20 ) by November 28, 2023. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 11/16/2023. (kid)
