In BOE. YE et al., Judge Willis granted Defendants’ late extension request and ordered a new case-management plan by February 24, 2025.
The defendants and all parties responsible for filing the proposed case-management plan were affected by the extension and the order to submit a replacement plan.
What happened
In BOE. YE et al., the defendants asked for more time to file a revised proposed case-management plan after missing the deadline. The request explained that defense counsel’s travel and weather-related disruptions affected the filing.
The court granted the defendants’ request retroactively. It found that the filed proposed plan contained confusing dates and deadlines that had already passed.
Magistrate Judge Jennifer E. Willis ordered the parties to file a new proposed case-management plan containing only deadlines that would expire in the near future. The new plan was due February 24, 2025.

Background
The defendants filed a letter motion seeking a one-week extension to file a revised proposed case-management plan. Defense counsel stated that she had missed the filing deadline after travel to Florida, weather-related travel disruptions, and difficulty filing the request before the deadline. The letter stated that plaintiff’s counsel had consented to the requested extension and that the revised plan would be filed by February 14, 2025 if the request were granted.
Ruling
The court granted the defendants’ request retroactively. The court also found that the proposed amended case-management plan on file contained confusing dates and deadlines that had already passed. The parties were ordered to refile a proposed case-management plan containing only amended dates with deadlines expiring in the near future. The replacement plan was due February 24, 2025.
Effect
This order addressed the timing and filing of the case-management plan. It did not decide the underlying claims or defenses described in the opinion text.
