Date Filed Document Text
October 31, 2019 Set/Reset Deadlines: Amended Pleadings due by 11/21/2019. (JS, ilcd)
October 31, 2019 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER denying leave to file entered by Judge Joe B. McDade on 10/31/2019. Petitioner has requested leave to file an amended petition, but failed to attach the proposed amended petition to his motion, as required by Central District of Illinois Local Rule 7.1(F); his request must therefore be denied. Petitioner may refile his motion with the proposed Second Amended Petition attached. In order to avoid prejudice to Respondent, Respondent's deadline to file an answer to the First Amended Petition will be stayed until Petitioner either renews his request and receives the Court's assent to amend his petition or files a notice that he is declining to do so; either filing should be made within 21 days of the date of this Order. Petitioner is cautioned that further attempts to amend the Petition a third time may be scrutinized more closely if he seeks to offer amendments could have been added to the petition earlier; he should accordingly ensure all theories on which he wishes to proceed at the current time are contained within his proposed Second Amended Petition.
