April 26, 2023 Opinion or Order Text Order DENYING #4 Motion for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply re #4 Agreed MOTION for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply to Defendant Diamondbacks State Court Motion for Summary Judgement. Generally, state court deadlines and time periods are suspended upon removal to federal court, "and the period of removal is not considered in the determination of whether a motion in the state court has been timely filed or considered. Upon remand, the state court proceeds from the point reached in the state court action prior to removal as if no interruption had occurred." Ruff v. Ruff, 2021 WL 388707 (Tex. App.--Eastland Feb. 4, 2021) (citations omitted). No party has moved for summary judgment following this case's removal. Therefore, there is presently no active summary judgment motion pending before this Court, and no deadline for this Court to extend. Entered by Judge David B. Fannin. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (DFG)
