March 7, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 9 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #7 Motion for Extension of Time. Defendant requests an additional twenty days to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint. In support, Defendant vaguely asserts that counsel was only recently retained, with no indication of when, and that he is in the process of investigating Plaintiff's allegations. Motions for extensions of time must set forth good cause supported by specific facts. This motion does not sufficiently explain the need for the relief sought. Because it is unopposed I will grant a short extension, but future motions that lack factual support will be denied. Defendant shall respond to the Complaint on or by March 18, 2024. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 3/7/2024. (kid)
