February 27, 2023 Filing 11 First MOTION for Extension of Time to File Motion to Vacate Default and Accept Answer by Lilaahar Bical. (Mandel, Scott)
February 14, 2023 Opinion or Order ORDER: Defendant has filed an Answer #10 dated 2/13/2023. The deadline for Defendant to respond to the Complaint was 2/10/2023. Because Defendant is seeking to extend the time to answer after the time to do so has passed, Defendant must file a motion by 2/28/2023 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) ("If an answer is filed late, the court may treat the issue as one of default. See John v. Sotheby's, Inc., 141 F.R.D. 29, 35 (S.D.N.Y. 1992) ('The filing of a late answer is analogous to a motion to vacate a default.') (citing Meehan v. Snow, 652 F.2d 274, 276 (2d Cir. 1981)). The court may then consider whether, under the factors discussed in Enron Oil Corp. v. Diakuhara, 10 F.3d 90, 96 (2d Cir. 1993), default should be vacated."). So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Sanket J. Bulsara on 2/14/2023. (MD)
