Opinion
Case No. 12-13370
08-31-2012
RONALD BENFORD and SHEILA A. WRIGHT-BENFORD, Plaintiffs, v. COUNTRY HOME LOANS SERVICING LP et al., Defendants.
PRELIMINARY SCHEDULING ORDER
On August 23, 2012, the court conducted a status conference in this case. At the conference, Plaintiffs' counsel indicated he intended to file, by agreement, an amended complaint. Depending on the content of the amended complaint, Defendants' counsel expressed that she would likely file a motion to dismiss. The court will suspend issuance of a formal scheduling order until these preliminary matters are resolved. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs shall file their amended complaint by August 31, 2012. Leave of court is specifically granted to file the amended complaint, and no further motion or stipulation need be submitted.
Thereafter, Defendants shall file a answer or, alternatively, any motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12 by September 14, 2012. Plaintiffs response shall be due October 5, 2012. Any optional reply shall be filed by October 12, 2012. Unless otherwise ordered, no hearing will be conducted.
