[Proposed] Order Shortening Response Deadlines — FTC v. Ponte Investments, LLC (April 17, 2020)

Summary

In Federal Trade Commission v. Ponte Investments, LLC, also doing business as SBA Loan Program, and John C. Ponte, Case No. 1:20-cv-00177 in the District of Rhode Island, this proposed order (Document 4-2, filed 04/17/20) would shorten the defendants' deadline to respond to the FTC's forthcoming motion for a temporary restraining order. It recites that the FTC's complaint alleges violations of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and that good cause exists to shorten the deadline. The defendants would have to respond by 5 p.m. on Monday, April 20, 2020, with a telephonic conference to follow on a date left blank; the signature line for the judge is unsigned.
