April 8, 2024 Filing 13 Second Letter Motion from Jarrod W Smith Esq for Sara Lighthall requesting one week extension to submit response to Defendant's Motion submitted to Judge Dancks . (Smith, Jarrod)
March 13, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 12 TEXT ORDER: Court reviewed plaintiff's letter request (Dkt. No. #11 ) for an extension of time to respond to the pending motion to dismiss, which is granted for the reasons stated. Response due 4/11/2024; any reply due 4/18/2024. As for plaintiff's counsel missing deadlines for a status report (Dkt. No. 5 ), the Court will not tolerate missed deadlines in the future and sanctions may be imposed if further deadlines are ignored. While the Court understands the demands of trial and trial preparation, counsel for plaintiff still must be responsible for managing deadlines of all matters he is handling. The Court's directive (Dkt. No. 5) was docketed 2/28/2024 and counsel received notice of it by email on that day. Counsel, by his own acknowledgement, did not begin trial until 3/11/2024, almost two weeks later. Counsel's trial preparation is no excuse for missing Court deadlines. Since defendant Lanigan has already appeared in the action (Dkt. No. #9 ), the Court's directive (Dkt. No. 5) to provide a status report on service is moot. SO ORDERED by Magistrate Judge Therese Wiley Dancks on 3/13/2024. (sg)
