December 22, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 25 ANSWER to Complaint with Jury Demand by Steven Ivankovich(Schumacher, Daryl)
December 1, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 24 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman: Telephonic motion hearing held on 12/1/2020. At the Court's first hearing in this matter on 10/28/2020, pro se defendant appeared and reported that he was retaining counsel. The Court directed defendant's counsel to file an appearance by 11/12/2020 which did not occur; the Court then granted plaintiffs' motion for default on 11/17/2020 as unopposed. Ten days after entry of default, defendant's counsel filed his appearance and also filed a motion to vacate the entry of default. With this slight delay in mind in the midst of a pandemic, the Court exercises its discretion and grants defendant's motion to vacate the order of default #20 because defendant has established good cause for the short delay. Specifically, counsel explains that his client was unable to retain counsel and pay a retainer until 11/25/2020. Counsel also took quick action to correct the default and has set forth potentially meritorious defenses. Because the Court grants defendant's motion to set aside the entry of default, the Court denies plaintiffs' motion for a default judgment #15 . Similarly, plaintiffs' request for fees and for posting of a bond are unwarranted at this time. Defendant's answer is due on or before 12/22/2020. Mailed notice. (ym, )
