August 28, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 10 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #9 Motion for Extension of Time. Defendants seek to extend the deadline to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint (DE #1 ) through September 18, 2025. In support, they state only that counsel was recently retained, and additional time is needed to craft a respond. Motions for Extension of Time must demonstrate good cause supported by specific facts. The vague facts supplied do not justify the lengthy extension requested. However, because the Motion is unopposed, I will afford Defendants a shorter delay. Accordingly, Defendants shall respond to Plaintiff's Complaint on or by September 8, 2025. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 8/28/2025. (sm01)
