Date Filed Document Text
February 4, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 61 TEXT ORDER: Based on a need to reschedule mediation, the parties jointly seek a Second Amended Scheduling Order. ECF No. #60 . The court finds it unnecessary to issue another scheduling order at this time. However, the parties' motion is granted insofar as it seeks to move the mediation deadline to March 21, 2022. Because a dispositive motion has been filed the court finds it unnecessary to revise the trial-related deadlines. As noted in the Amended Scheduling Order, ECF No. #16 , a Notice regarding trial-related deadlines will be issued after the dispositive motion has been resolved. Signed by Magistrate Judge Kaymani D West on 2/4/2022.(prou, )

July 12, 2021 Filing 25 DELETION OF DOCKET ENTRY NUMBER Entry #23, Amended Complaint, Reason: per #24 TEXT ORDER. (dsto, )
July 12, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 24 TEXT ORDER: Rather than file a response to Defendants' Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, ECF No. #22 , Plaintiff submitted an Amended Complaint, ECF No. 23. However, because the Amended Complaint was not filed within the window within which Plaintiff could have filed an amended pleading as a matter of course, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1), any amended complaint requires either the opposing parties' written consent or leave of the court, Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is instructed to remove the amended complaint found at ECF No. 23 from the docket in this matter. At present, then, the Complaint found at ECF No. #1 -1 remains the operative Complaint.Plaintiff is free to submit a Motion to Amend her Complaint. In addition to a proposed amended complaint, Plaintiff's Motion should include a memorandum in support of the motion and an affirmation of consultation with opposing counsel as required by Local Civil Rule 7.02 (D.S.C.). Should the parties consent to the filing of an Amended Complaint, the current Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings would become moot. Absent a consented-to Motion to Amend, Plaintiff is still required to respond to the pending Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, ECF No. #22 , no later than July 26, 2021. Signed by Magistrate Judge Kaymani D West on 07/12/2021. (dsto, )
