Filing 18 SUMMONS Returned Executed by Justin Cullen. Keith Mello served on 6/24/2021, answer due 7/15/2021. (Tomasiewicz, Patrick) |
Filing 17 ORDER denying #12 Motion for Default Judgment in light of the Court's June 22, 2021 Order, ECF No. 16. Signed by Judge Victor A. Bolden on 06/22/2021. (Millat, C.) |
Filing 16 ORDER granting #15 Motion to Set Aside Default. The Second Circuit has expressed its preference that cases be decided on the merits. See Enron Oil Corp. v. Diakuhara, 10 F.3d 90, 95 (2d Cir. 1993) ("The circumscribed scope of the district court's discretion in the context of a default is a reflection of our oft-stated preference for resolving disputes on the merits."). Accordingly, disposition of a case by default is an "extreme sanction" that "must remain a weapon of last, rather than first, resort." Meehan v. Snow, 652 F.2d 274, 277 (2d Cir. 1981). Accordingly, and because counsel for Defendant has filed an appearance, the motion to set aside default is GRANTED. Signed by Judge Victor A. Bolden on 06/22/2021. (Millat, C.) |
