| Oct 11, 2022 | N/A | Order (0) Docket Text: PAPERLESS ORDER REQUIRING STATUS REPORT. This case was filed on August 25, 2022. (DE [1]). Defendant's Answer was due September 16, 2022 (DE [9]), but I extended that deadline to September 30, 2022. (DE [12]). To date, no Answer has been filed, and no counsel has entered an appearance in the court record on Defendant's behalf. I note that when I extended Defendant's deadline to file an Answer, it was premised in part upon the representation to the court that the Parties were engaged in settlement negotiations. Then, on September 29, 2022, Plaintiff filed an untimely Amended Complaint without leave of court or, evidently, Defendant's written consent. (DE [13]). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15 (authorizing amendment of a complaint as of course within 21 days of filing or from the date of a responsive pleading, whichever is earlier; and requiring leave of court or defendant's written consent otherwise). Therefore, in light of the untimely Amended Complaint, Defendant's failure to timely Answer the original complaint, and because no defense counsel has entered an appearance, Plaintiff SHALL FILE a Status Report on or by October 18, 2022. In the Report, Plaintiff shall advise how it intends to proceed in this matter given the present posture, including whether Plaintiff intends to seek default judgment. In the Report, Plaintiff shall also show cause why the untimely Amended Complaint should not be stricken. Failure to respond to this Order may result in dismissal. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 10/11/2022. (kal) |

| Sep 13, 2022 | N/A | Set/Reset Deadlines (0) Docket Text: Set/Reset Response/Answer Due Deadline: Target Corporation response/answer due 9/30/2022. Per DE [12] Order. (ebz) |
| Sep 13, 2022 | N/A | Order on Motion for Extension of Time (0) Docket Text: PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part [11] Defendant's Unopposed Motion for Enlargement of Time. Defendant Target Corporation seeks a one-month extension of time to respond to the Complaint. In support, Defendant represents that the Parties are in settlement negotiations, that Defendant has not yet had time to "fully investigate" the allegations, and that Defendant is in the process of retaining local counsel. I am not persuaded by Defendant's vague references to the need for more time to prepare. Requests to extend deadlines must be supported by specific facts. In the interest of encouraging the early and amicable resolution of this case I will grant an extension, however Defendant does not set forth good cause for the requested one-month long delay. Instead, I will grant Defendant an additional two weeks. The Parties can, of course, continue to engage in settlement negotiations while this case moves forward in litigation. Therefore, the motion is granted in part and the deadline for Defendant to respond to the Complaint shall be extended to September 30, 2022. No other litigation deadlines are modified or extended as a result of this Order. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 9/13/2022. (kal) |
