Filing 107 ORDER GRANTING #104 MOTION to Withdraw Motion for Default: On June 2, 2009, third-party plaintiff Wal-Mart filed a motion for entry of default against third-party defendant Integrated Safety, LLC d/b/a Fall Guy (Doc. #88 ). On June 17, 2009, the Clerk of the Court entered default against Integrated Safety (Doc. #102 ). Immediately thereafter, Wal-Mart moved to withdraw its motion for entry of default (Doc. #104 ). Therein, Wal-Mart indicates that it recently served Integrated Safety, and that Integrated Safety agreed to waive service (see Doc. #105 ). The Court construes Wal-Mart's filing (Doc. #104 ) as a motion to set aside entry of default. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(c) provides that "[t]he court may set aside entry of default for good cause." In light of the fact that Wal-Mart itself requests that the court set aside the entry of default and that Wal-Mart indicates that Integrated Safety was recently served, the Court FINDS that good cause exists, GRANTS Wal-Mart's motion (Doc. #104 ), and SETS ASIDE the entry of default against Integrated Safety, LLC (Doc. #102 ). Signed by Judge Michael J. Reagan on 6/17/2009. (djp)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. |

Filing 63 ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART #62 MOTION for Reconsideration / Continuance of Trial Schedule: The motion at Doc. #62 seeks continuance of all deadlines in this case, including the discovery deadline, the dispositive motions deadline, and the final pre-trial conference and trial dates. The motion is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. It is GRANTED in that the parties are free to extend their discovery deadline by agreement. However, it is DENIED to the extent that it seeks a continuance of the dispositive motion deadline, final pre-trial conference, and trial. Counsel practicing before this Court know from personal experience, as well as the Court's website, that the Court sets specific, not presumptive trial dates. The position of the Court is clear and unequivocal: "Trial dates are firmly set by the Court. Motions to continue are not well taken." See http://www.ilsd.uscourts.gov/reagancivil.html#TrialProcedure. Continuing a case on a docket managed with firm trial dates creates havoc on the Court's schedule because the Court can set only a finite number of cases on a specific date without risking "overbooking." The Court's calendar does not permit accomodation of the requested continuance. However, the parties are invited to consent to the magistrate judge, who generally enjoys a more flexible calendar and can usually accommodate an agreed upon trial date. The consent form can be found at http://www.ilsd.uscourts.gov/forms.html. Additionally, the Court will consider a motion to sever and grant it, if the motion is well-taken. Signed by Judge Michael J. Reagan on 2/12/2009. (djp)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. |
