ORDER ON PLAINTIFFS’ REQUEST 

FOR RELIEF PURSUANT TO F.R.C.P. 

60(B)(1) AND EXTENSION OF TIME TO 

FILE CORRECTED PLEADING

Doc. # 234

Recently, the court filed an order granting Defendants’ ex parte request to extend time to 

file a reply to Plaintiff’s opposition to Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. Doc.# 239. 

In so doing, the court overlooked Plaintiffs’ request to correct errors in a pleading pursuant to 

Rule 60(b)(1) and for a one-week extension of time to file an amended document correcting 

errors arising from excusable neglect. The court notes that the errors Plaintiffs seek leave to 

correct are, to a significant extent, omissions or errors that formed part of the reason Defendants 

sought extension of time to file their reply. It appears, therefore, that a grant of relief pursuant to 

Rule 60(b)(1) will benefit all parties as well as the court. There being no apparent prejudice and 

considerable benefit to all parties, Plaintiffs’ request for relief will be granted.

THEREFORE, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ request for relief pursuant to 

F.R.C.P. 60(b)(1) is hereby GRANTED. Any corrected or amended pleading shall be filed and 

served within five (5) days of service of this order. The court’s prior order granting Defendants’

the extension of time to file the reply shall begin to run as of the time Plaintiffs file and serve 

their amended pleading pursuant to this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
