November 17, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 22 TEXT ORDER This matter comes before the Court upon the filing of letters requesting a pre-motion conference by Defendant Joyce Ann Wilson (Docket No. 11), Defendant Linda Ann Pohly (Docket No. 20), and Defendant Veda Diane Balla (Docket No. 20). All defendants request leave to file a motion to dismiss for, among other reasons, lack of personal jurisdiction. Defendant Pohly requests, in the alternative, that the Court transfer this matter to the Eastern District of Michigan. Pursuant to this Court's Individual Rules and Procedures I.A., Plaintiff's time to respond to Defendant Wilson's letter has expired. Thus, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff shall so cause no later than the end of business on November 22, 2023, on why Plaintiff has failed to timely respond to Defendant Wilson's letter AND why the relief Defendant Wilson seeks should not be granted. Because Defendants Pohly and Balla seek substantially similar relief as Defendant Wilson, Plaintiff must respond to those letters by the November 22nd deadline. If Plaintiff fails to respond to those letters by the November 22nd deadline, the Court will likely grant the relief that Defendants' motions seek. So Ordered by Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb on 11/17/2023. (Costigan, Roberta)
