PAPERLESS ORDER ON COURT PRACTICE IN CASES WITH MULTIPLE DEFENDANTS THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon a sua sponte review of the record. To better manage the orderly progress of the case, it is hereby ORDERED as follows:1. Plaintiff shall file proof of service, as to each Defendant, within seven (7) days of perfecting service on each Defendant. 2. Defendants shall file their responses and motions jointly. a. If there are conflicts of position, the co-Defendants shall file a motion for leave to file separate responses or motions, in which they must describe what those conflicts are.b. If the co-Defendants need more than twenty (20) pages for their joint responses or motions, they shall file a motion for leave to file excess pages, which the Court will consider expeditiously. 3. The co-Defendants may file separate answers to the Complaint. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the time for responsive pleadings--for all Defendants--begins to run once all Defendants have either (1) been served or (2) waived service. If the Defendants face response periods of different lengths--say, because one Defendant has been personally served whereas another has waived service--all Defendants will be subject to the longest of those response periods. 4. Although all Defendants will be subject to the longest of all response periods, each served Defendant must still file a notice of appearance within twenty-one (21) days of being served with the Complaint (or sixty (60) days if service is waived).5. Failure to comply with these procedures may result in sanctions, including the striking of the motion(s) or response(s). Signed by Judge Melissa Damian on 12/23/2025. (mul) (Entered: 12/23/2025)
