`
`time to respond to Element Fleet Corporation, Wells, Inc., Donlen LLC, and
`
`Automotive Rentals, Inc.’s Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreements. ECF No.
`
`2149. Pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules of the
`
`Eastern District of Michigan, the deadline to respond to this motion is September 29,

`
`by Class Action Capital and its clients. Movants do not oppose EPP’s request for an

`
`EPPs respectfully request that the Court enter an Order—attached hereto as
`
`Exhibit 1 and submitted separately via ECF utility—permitting EPPs to file an
`
`opposition brief on or before October 13, 2021. EPPs seek this extension due to work
`
`and personal obligations. Extending the Response deadline will allow EPPs to
`
`adequately address movant’s arguments.
`
`Granting the relief sought by EPPs is well within the discretion of this Court.
`
`See e.g. Slaven v. Spirit Airlines, Inc., 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99712, *7-8 (E.D.
`
`Mich. Oct. 27, 2009) (finding a schedule may be modified for good cause, a standard
`
`met when the moving party has diligently attempted to meet the current deadline and
`
`no prejudice to the opposing party will result) (citing Leary v. Daeschner, 349 F.3d
`
`888, 906 (6th Cir. 2003)); see also JAT, Inc. v. Nat’l City Bank, 2007 U.S. Dist.
`
`LEXIS 82907, *7-8 (E.D. Mich. Nov. 8, 2007).
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`For the reasons stated above, EPPs respectfully request that this Court enter
`
`an Order permitting them to file a Response to Element Fleet Corporation, Wells,
`
`Inc., Donlen LLC, and Automotive Rentals, Inc.’s Motion to Enforce Settlement
`
`Agreements on or before October 13, 2021.
