PAPERLESS ORDER SETTING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE: Scheduling Conference set for 4/29/2024 at 2:00 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 3/27/2024. (no00)

Filing 25
PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #23 Plaintiff's Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Amended Complaint. Defendant has moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint (DE #18 ). Plaintiff's response to the motion is due March 18th. Instead of responding, Plaintiff is requesting to file an Amended Complaint, and that he be given an extended time frame (over three weeks) to do so. Under Rule 15(a)(1), "[a] party may amend its pleading only with the opposing party's written consent or the court's leave." Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). Leave should be "freely give[n]... when justice so requires." Id. Considering the liberal standard, and given Defendant's lack of objection, Plaintiff's request for authorization to file an Amended Complaint is granted. As for the request for a three-week extended filing deadline of April 11th, the motion contains no facts from which I can discern whether there is good cause for a delay of that magnitude. Therefore, I will grant the motion only in part. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Amended Complaint shall be due no later than March 25, 2024. Alternatively, Plaintiff must file a response in opposition to the Motion to Dismiss by that date. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 3/18/2024. (kid)
