October 11, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 4 SCHEDULING ORDER: Counsel for all parties are directed to file on the docket a joint letter describing the case and a completed civil case management plan by November 9, 2023, as further described in the attached mandatory requirements. The parties' joint letter shall include a description of any discovery that has already been conducted in state court prior to Defendant's removal of this case.Requests for adjournment of the deadline for these submissions will be considered only if made in writing and otherwise in accordance with Section I.D of the Court's Individual Practices. Although the Court will be amenable to a reasonable extension of Defendant's deadline to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's complaint, the Court will require the parties to demonstrate additional good cause to adjourn the deadline for filing the joint letter and proposed case management plan required by this order because the Court does not need Defendant's answer to set a discovery schedule.

Defendant may file a responsive letter no longer than three pages on or before October 25, 2023.If Plaintiff's letter indicates that removal was improper, the Court will likely take under consideration whether to remand this case based solely on the parties' letters, without affording Defendant the opportunity further to brief the issue, regardless of whether Defendant files a responsive letter.
