| Filing 20 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: As is reflected in the Court's standing order on motions to dismiss, the parties are advised that, when a motion to dismiss is filed, the nonmoving party has a right to amend its pleading once within 21 days. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1)(B). Consistent with the purpose of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure "to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding," Fed. R. Civ. P. 1, Plaintiff is directed to review Defendant's motion to dismiss and to consider exercising, as appropriate, Plaintiff's right to amend under Rule 15(a)(1)(B). If Plaintiff elects to amend its pleading in response to the motion to dismiss, then Defendant (unless otherwise ordered) must, within 21 days of the amended pleading, file either an answer or a renewed motion to dismiss. If Plaintiff elects not to amend but instead chooses to litigate the motion to dismiss, Plaintiff (unless ordered otherwise) must file its response within 28 days of the filing of the motion, and Defendant must file its reply within 14 days of the filing of the response. In its response, Plaintiff must also address whether any alleged deficiencies identified by the motion to dismiss are curable by amendment. The parties are also reminded that the filing of a motion to dismiss does not result in an automatic stay of discovery. See SK Hand Tool Corp. v. Dresser Indus., Inc., 852 F.2d 936, 945 n.11 (7th Cir. 1988) ("Discovery need not cease during the pendency of a motion to dismiss."); Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c)(1). Accordingly, absent a showing that good cause exists for a stay, discovery will continue during the pendency of the motion to dismiss. If not already completed, the parties are directed to meet and confer on a proposed case management schedule. The parties are directed to submit a copy of the proposed scheduling order in Word format to Judge Kness's Proposed Order inbox, [email protected] on or before 8/7/2026. If the parties cannot agree, the Court will on its own volition enter a case management order. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b). Mailed notice. (exr, ) |
