| 2024-04-03 | 8 | ATTORNEY Appearance for Plaintiff Thomas Soule by Francis P. Cuisinier (Cuisinier, Francis) (Entered: 04/03/2024) |
| 2024-04-05 | 9 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The motion hearing set for April 8, 2024 is hereby stricken. Mailed notice. (jjr, ) (Entered: 04/05/2024) |
| 2024-04-12 | 10 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's motion for issuance of a summons to the United States with a shorter return date (Dckt. No. 5 ) is hereby denied. The Federal Rules give the United States 60 days to respond to a complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(2). That's the rule, unless there is a good reason to depart from the rule. Here, Plaintiff gives no reason. Plaintiff asks this Court to take away half of the government's customary response time, without giving this reason any reason for the request. Plaintiff did not give a reason, and this Court does not see a reasons on its own. It's a FOIA case, without any unusual urgency. So the request to cut the government's response time in half is hereby denied. Mailed notice (jjr, ) (Entered: 04/12/2024) |
