| Feb 19, 2021 | 73 | order on motion for extension of time (1) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Defendants' motion for extension of time to reply to their own motion to dismiss (and to respond to Plaintiffs' motion to dismiss the counterclaim) and for a protective order [72] is denied. Defendants' motion seeks an extension of time for a deadline that expired more than a month ago and explains the failure to timely respond or to timely seek an extension by claiming that counsel was too busy to attend to this matter. The press of other professional obligations does not excuse counsel's failure to seek a timely extension of pending deadlines. Accordingly, no further briefing on the pending Rule 12 motions will be permitted; the Court will address those motions on the briefs that have been filed. As no further briefing will be permitted, the motion to stay discovery to permit additional briefing is denied and, in any event, discovery in this matter is well under way and this Court is not inclined to interrupt and delay progress in this case further to accommodate additional briefing and consideration of pleadings-based motions. Any motion to extend the discovery schedule must be presented to Magistrate Judge Cox in accordance with her prior order [70] noting that "in order to extend the fact discovery deadline, [the parties] will need to show good cause, including diligence in attempting to meet the deadline."

[Dkt. 27.] Plaintiff's recent letter makes it plain that Defendant has violated the Court's 1/14/2020 order by failing to produce this crucial information, and Plaintiff neglected to mention this 6-month deficiency either by motion or in any of the numerous scheduling communications with the Court in advance of this week's settlement conference. The Court will not repeat its settlement conference efforts to arrive at the same impassible juncture we remain at currently. Therefore, the Court sua sponte strikes the settlement conference date of 7/30/2020. The due date for Defendant's updated settlement letter is also stricken. The parties are ordered to file a proposed discovery schedule by 7/31/2020. Mailed notice (np, ) |
