July 8, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 43 ORDER by District Judge Margaret I. Strickland. In accordance with the parties' jointly proposed deadlines, see ECF No. #42 , the Court extends the briefing schedule on #27 RUSCO Operating, LLC's Motion to Compel Arbitration as follows: Plaintiff's response is due by 7/22/2022. RUSCO's reply is due by 8/5/2022. [THIS IS A TEXT-ONLY ENTRY. THERE ARE NO DOCUMENTS ATTACHED.] (tms)
July 7, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 42 Joint Status Report by RUSCO Operating, LLC (Busler, Adam)
July 5, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 41 ORDER by District Judge Margaret I. Strickland. The parties shall file a joint statement no later than 7/8/2022 to explain the status of their briefing on #27 Third-Party Defendant RUSCO Operating, LLC's Motion to Compel Arbitration. [THIS IS A TEXT-ONLY ENTRY. THERE ARE NO DOCUMENTS ATTACHED.] (tms)
June 14, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 40 ORDER by District Judge Margaret I. Strickland granting #39 Motion for Extension of Time to File Answer. As a preliminary matter, it does not appear that Defendant RUSCO Operating, LLC, is required to file an answer at this time. See Lamkin v. Morinda Props. Weight Parcel, LLC, 440 F. Appx 604, 607 (10th Cir. 2011) ("[A] defendant in a pending lawsuit may file a petition or motion to compel arbitration in lieu of an answer to the complaint."). However, to the extent any answer is due, the Court finds good cause to extend the deadline until after RUSCO's Motion to Compel Arbitration (ECF No. #27 ) is decided, because an answer filed prior to that date would serve no practical purpose. See Rachel v. Troutt, 820 F.3d 390, 394 (10th Cir. 2016) (explaining that the good cause standard of Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1) "should be liberally construed"). The Motion is therefore GRANTED.[THIS IS A TEXT-ONLY ENTRY. THERE ARE NO DOCUMENTS ATTACHED.] (tms)
