SHARON MADER, Plaintiff, v. THE LINCOLN NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendants.
ORDER
Jamal N. Whitehead, United States District Judge
On July 20, 2024, Defendant The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company filed an unopposed motion to extend its deadline to file a responsive pleading. Dkt. No. 5. The Court reminds the parties to review its Chambers Procedures, available at https://www.wawd.uscourts.gov/judges/whitehead-procedures. In relevant part, the procedures state, “Parties may agree to extend the time for a defendant to answer or otherwise respond to a complaint. So long as the parties agree to an extension, there's no need to file a stipulation with the Court.” See Chambers Procedures - Civil, 5.3 Extending Deadline to Answer.
Although the parties' motion is unnecessary per the Court's Chambers Procedures for Civil Cases, the Court GRANTS the motion nevertheless. Dkt. No. 5.
The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company's responsive pleading deadline is extended to August 21, 2024.
