Order on Motion for Extension of Time
Tue 08/13 3:20 PM
ORDER granting4 Letter Motion for Extension of Time. Respondents are directed to file their response to Plaintiff's Petition to Compel Arbitration (Doc. 1-1) by September 6, 2024. Petitioner stated in his August 12, 2024 letter that he intends to move to remand this proceeding to state court. (Doc. 10 at 2 ("As will be argued in Petitioner's forthcoming motion to remand this proceeding to the State Court, an asserted federal defense to an action does not confer a federal court with original jurisdiction over a dispute wherein the petitioner only asserts state court claims")). Petitioner is directed to file his motion to remand by August 20, 2024. Respondents are directed to file their response by August 27, 2024. There shall be no reply briefs permitted, unless the Court directs otherwise. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion pending at Doc. 4. SO ORDERED.
