ORDER This cause is before the Court on Appellants' Unopposed Motion Requesting Enlargement of Time to File Initial Brief (Doc. No. 12), filed May 17, 2012. The Court makes the following observations. First, the Motion does not comply with the May 8, 2012 Order of the Court directing the parties to use a consolidated caption, and setting a briefing schedule. (Doc. No. 9, p. 2.) In the future, the Court may summarily deny or strike filings that do not comply with the requirements set forth in Court Orders. Second, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16, scheduling orders may be modified only for good cause, and only when the schedule "cannot 'be met despite the diligence of the party seeking the extension.'
