CORNEL MILEY ET AL., Plaintiffs, v. CITIBANK, N.A., Defendant.
ORDER
JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge:
On September 20, 2021, Defendant filed a notice of removal, seeking to remove this case to federal court. See ECF No. 4. On September 27, 2021, Defendant filed a motion to compel arbitration and stay these proceedings. See ECF No. 7. On September 29, Plaintiffs filed a “Motion to Amend Petition” as well as what appears to be an amended complaint. See ECF Nos. 12 and 13. In response, Defendant filed a second motion to stay these proceedings, opposing Plaintiffs' motion to amend. See ECF No. 14.
It is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs shall file any opposition to Citibank's motion to compel arbitration and stay these proceedings by October 27, 2021. Citibank shall file any reply by November 3, 2021. The Court will reserve judgment on Plaintiffs' motion to amend their complaint until it issues a decision on Defendant's motion to compel arbitration. Any party may request an extension of the briefing schedule for the motion. A deadline will be extended if the party demonstrates that its pursuit of the action has been diligent and that there is a good reason for extending the deadline.
The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate ECF Nos. 12 and 14 and to mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiffs.
SO ORDERED.
