March 6, 2020 Filing 24 Judge Indira Talwani: ELECTRONIC ORDER: Attorney Kevin J. Kilduff's Motion to Strike Answer and Withdraw as Counsel #15 for Defendant ARO Equity, LLC, seeks the requested relief on the ground that Attorney Kilduff's firm was engaged by Timothy J. Allcott to represent Defendant ARO Equity, LLC, but that Allcott did not have authority at the time to retain the firm on behalf of Defendant ARO Equity, LLC. On February 14, 2020, the court directed Attorney Kilduff to serve on Defendant ARO Equity, LLC, the Motion to Strike Answer and Withdraw as Counsel, and a copy of the court's electronic order directing Defendant that any opposition to the motion to withdraw must be filed within 14 days after such service. Elec. Order 16 . Counsel's Certificate of Service #18 states that counsel served Defendant ARO Equity, LLC, with these documents by mail on February 18, 2020. No opposition having been filed, the Motion to Strike Answer and Withdraw as Counsel #15 is GRANTED, and the Answer #6 by ARO Equity, LLC, is stricken. Plaintiff's Affidavit of Service #11 states that Defendant ARO Equity, LLC, was served on January 21, 2020, such that an Answer is now overdue. In light of the mistaken filing of the Answer #6 , Defendant ARO Equity, LLC's time to respond to the Complaint is extended to March 20, 2020. If Defendant ARO Equity, LLC, fails to appear through counsel by that date, Plaintiff may seek entry of a default. As the court now has no counsel on the docket for Defendant ARO Equity, LLC, the court directs Attorney Kevin Kilduff to serve a copy of this order on Defendant ARO Equity, LLC, and promptly file a certificate of service, including the address used for service.

On February 14, 2020, the court directed Attorney Kilduff to serve on Defendant Allcott the Motion to Withdraw and a copy of the court's electronic order directing Defendant that any opposition to the motion to withdraw must be filed within 14 days after such service. Elec. Order 16 . Counsel's Certificate of Service #19 states that counsel served Defendant Allcott with these documents by mail on February 18, 2020. No opposition having been filed, the Motion to Withdraw as Counsel #14 is GRANTED.
