Unopposed Application For Extension Of Time To Answer Complaint

UNOPPOSED APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO ANSWER COMPLAINT. This form is used in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas by a party seeking additional time to respond to a complaint filed in a civil case. This application is filed when both parties agree to the extension, and it allows the responding party to request a new deadline to file their answer, as long as the new date does not exceed 45 days from the original due date. The form requires the applicant to provide their name, bar number, contact information, and the relevant dates for the original and proposed deadlines. It simplifies the extension process by eliminating the need for a Certificate of Conference and, unless all parties are electronically served, may require a Certificate of Service. The form must be filed electronically through the CM/ECF system using the correct event code, and it must be "flattened" before uploading to ensure proper filing. Importantly, this form is not permitted for cases assigned to Judge Marcia A. Crone, who has specific standing orders regarding the filing of answers and defenses. www.FormsWorkflow.com
