LEAMON MADISON Plaintiff, v. COLQUITT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
W. LOUIS SANDS, SR. JUDGE
Before the Court is the Parties' Joint Motion Regarding Plaintiff5 s Amended Complaint and Defendants' Responses (“the Motion”) (Doc. 47). Therein, the Parties move the Court to allow Plaintiff until November 4, 2024, to file a motion to amend his complaint, and to vacate Defendants' current stipulated deadline to submit a responsive pleading. On August 16, 2024, the Parties were Ordered (Doc. 48) to supplement their motion explaining why such a long period is justified.
After the Court's review of the Parties' Joint Response Regarding Need for Extension (Doc. 49), it is still unclear why such a lengthy extension is necessary. Despite being ordered to supplement their motion, the Parties have provided no particularized information related to the circumstances of the case that would warrant such an extension. Thus, the Parties' motion is GRANTED-IN-PART. Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED, if Plaintiff so chooses, to file a Motion to Amend the Complaint within forty-five (45) days of the entry of this Order. As such, Defendants' current stipulated deadline to submit a responsive pleading is VACATED. After forty-five days, and if no motion to amend is filed, Defendants shall have twenty-one (21) days thereafter within which to file their response to Plaintiff5 s existing complaint.
SO ORDERED.
