ORDER

CAM FERENBACH, Magistrate Judge.

Before the court is Plaintiffs' Ex Parte Application for Enlargement of Time to Serve Defendant Lora Lee Ehrnreiter and Request for Permission to Serve by Publication. (#24).

Pursuant to Local Rules 7-5(b) and (c), ex parte motions must contain a statement showing good cause why the matter was submitted to the Court without notice to all parties and requests may be summited ex parte only for compelling reasons, and not for unopposed or emergency motions. In Seth T. Floyd, Esq.'s affidavit, he states that this motion should be considered ex parte because Plaintiffs have been unable to locate the Defendant. (See Affidavit, #24-2 at 3). This is not a compelling reason to file this motion ex parte as Defendants Safety Sealed Water Systems LLC and Craig Ehrnreiter have appeared in this matter, and should receive notice of this motion by electronic service.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the ex parte status on the Application for Enlargement of Time to Serve Defendant Lora Lee Ehrnreiter and Request for Permission to Serve by Publication (#24) be removed. The Court of Clerk is directed to email a copy of this motion to Defendants Safety Sealed Water Systems LLC and Craig Ehrnreiter. Any opposition must be filed on or before September 17, 2015 and any Reply in Support of the Application for Enlargement of Time to Serve Defendant Lora Lee Ehrnreiter and Request for Permission to Serve by Publication (#24) must be filed on or before September 28, 2015.
