- cod;;1:16-cv-02154_de53 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE ORDER Granting 50 Supplement/Amendment, filed by Deborah Ann L'Hotta, SAFE-pHix, LLC, Walter Larry L'Hotta, ACS Technology. The Court acknowledges plaintiff's arguments. However, in the first place, the Court considers its Civil Pro Bono Program to be an important step towards maximizing citizens' access to courts. The volunteer lawyers were appointed Feb. 5, 2017 and entered their appearances on Feb. 17, 2017. It is reasonable for them to have taken three months to investigate and to satisfy themselves that they could assert counterclaims in good faith. Second, despite the foregoing reason, the Court would not grant the motion if it found that doing so would cause unfair prejudice to the plaintiff. However, trial is set for April 2, 2018, thus leaving approximately eight months for further discovery and preparation. The Court will be flexible in accommodating the plaintiff in terms of extension of deadlines or in seeking protection against unreasonable additional costs. Third, the Court elects to deal with the merits or lack of merits of the counterclaims either in the context of a dispositive motion after a reasonable opportunity for the parties to conduct any additional discovery that they desire or at trial, not on a "futility" basis at this time, as the Court does not find that it has sufficient command of the facts at this time to do so. Finally, the general rule is to grant leave to amend freely if justice so requires. Rule 15(a)(2). In the circumstances I find that justice does require that leave to amend be granted. By Judge R. Brooke Jackson on 7/16/17. Text Only Entry (rbjsec. ) (Entered: 07/17/2017)" @default.
