August 5, 2021 Opinion or Order ORDER: The Motion #18 is granted. Defendants Deborah Kiernan and Frank Raccuglia ("Defendants") have established that the factors set out in Enron Oil Corp. v. Diakuhara, 10 F.3d 90, 96 (2d Cir. 1993), namely "(1) whether the default was willful; (2) whether setting aside the default would prejudice the adversary; and (3) whether a meritorious defense is presented," weigh in favor of granting the motion. First, Defendants have established that the default was not willful. See, e.g., Am. Alliance Ins. Co. v. Eagle Ins. Co., 92 F.3d 57, 61 (2d Cir. 1996) (ruling that "a filing mistake" by "counsel's clerk" was "grossly negligent" but "was not willful, deliberate, or evidence of bad faith"). Second, Plaintiff has consented to set aside the default. And third, Defendants are prepared to promptly file an answer and proceed with litigation, which indicates that a meritorious defense may be present; the Court's preference is to resolve cases on the merits, not on default. Defendants are directed to file their answer by 9/20/2021. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Sanket J. Bulsara on 8/5/2021. (Farrell, Gillian)

July 28, 2021 Opinion or Order ORDER: The Motion for Extension of Time to Answer #16 is granted in part and denied in part without prejudice to renewal. Defendants Elaine Lindsey, Mark Sanchez, and Cheryl Quatrano shall answer, move, or otherwise respond to the Complaint #1 by 9/20/2021. The City seeks to extend the time for Defendants Deborah Kiernan and Frank Raccuglia to answer, move, or otherwise respond to the Complaint. Their answers were due on 7/16/2021 and 7/19/2021 respectively. Because the City is seeking to extend the time to answer after the time to do so has passed, the City must file a motion by 8/6/2021 that explains why, under the standards set forth in Enron Oil Corp. v. Diakuhara, 10 F.3d 90, 96 (2d Cir. 1993), a belated answer is permissible, and why a default should not be entered. Liang v. Home Reno Concepts, LLC, 803 F. App'x 444, 446 n.2 (2d Cir. 2020). So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Sanket J. Bulsara on 7/28/2021. (Farrell, Gillian)
