| 2022-10-05 | 10 | REPLY to opposition to motion re 7 MOTION for Extension of Time to File Answer re 1 Complaint, filed by FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION. (Caplen, Robert) (Entered: 10/05/2022) |
| 2022-10-06 | | MINUTE ORDER: The Court is in receipt of Defendant's 7 Motion for Extension of Time. Defendant requests an extension of time, from October 17, 2022 to December 2, 2022, to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's complaint. In support thereof, Defendant relies on a long list of competing deadlines, none of which is a trial. Although Plaintiff consents to a 21-day extension, it opposes an extension of time to December. As Plaintiff rightly notes, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b) permits the Court to grant an opposed extension request only upon a showing of good cause. A heavy caseload is usually insufficient to establish good cause. See Joseph v. Hess Oil Virgin Islands Corp. , 651 F.3d 348, 356 (3d Cir. 2011) (collecting cases). Although extensions of time are routinely granted in FOIA cases such as this, the Court is hesitant to grant an opposed request beyond 21 days. As such, the Court GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART Defendant's 7 Motion for Extension of Time and directs Defendant to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's complaint on or before November 14, 2022 .

| 2022-12-15 | | MINUTE ORDER: The Court is in receipt of the parties' initial 13 Joint Status Report. In consideration thereof, the parties shall file another joint status report on or before January 27, 2023 . Because the parties indicate that this FOIA matter should proceed directly to dispositive motions briefing, the Court will not direct rolling joint status reports. The parties also suggest that this matter is related to another matter before the Court, IER v. FERC , Civ. A. No. 22-3419 (CKK). The parties should indicate in their next joint status report whether they propose consolidating the two cases. Signed by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on December 15, 2022.
