November 17, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ORDER: Defendants' Notice of Removal properly pleads federal subject matter jurisdiction under the diversity statute, 28 U.S.C. 1332 (Doc. 8), and Plaintiff did not file a motion to remand. A review of the docket reveals Defendants have not yet filed an answer or other responsive pleading in this court, nor does it appear that they did so in state court prior to removal. Their time for doing so has surely elapsed by now. See, e.g., Fed. R. Civ. P. 81(c)(2). Defendants are sua sponte granted through December 1, 2023, to file an answer or other responsive pleading. Once they do so, the Court will track this case and set it for a Rule 16 scheduling conference. In the event Defendants do not file an answer or other responsive pleading, Plaintiff is expected to file a motion for an entry of default. Signed by Magistrate Judge Mark A. Beatty on 11/17/2023.
