Michael Kind, Esq. Attorney for Plaintiff John Waudby
MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME FOR DEFENDANT EXPERIAN INFORMATION SOLUTIONS, INC. TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
DANIEL J. ALBREGTS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
John Waudby (“Plaintiff”), by and through counsel, hereby requests an extension of time for Defendant Experian Information Solutions, Inc. to respond to the complaint. Defendant's responsive pleading is currently due on January 4, 2023. This is the second request for an extension of this deadline.
The extension is sought because the parties are engaged in active settlement discussions that may alleviate Defendant's need to retain counsel and appear in this case.
In good faith and not for the purposes of delay, Plaintiff submits this motion, on behalf of Defendant, and requests that this Court extend Defendant's deadline to file its responsive pleading until on or before
The Court notes that Plaintiff has failed to comply with Local Rule IA 6-1(a) by citing excusable neglect for filing the motion after the deadline. Nonetheless, the Court recognizes that Plaintiff is filing this motion on behalf of Defendant, that the parties are engaged in settlement discussions, and that Defendant is engaging in those discussions to avoid the need to retain counsel. Despite the lack of an explicit cite to excusable neglect, the Court finds good cause exists to grant the motion.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiffs motion to extend (ECF No. 21) is GRANTED.
