Date Filed Document Text
June 1, 2023 Opinion or Order ORDER granting #7 Motion for Extension of Time to File Answer. Defendant Kids A.M., Inc.'s motion to extend the time to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint is granted. Under the standards set forth in Enron Oil Corp. v. Diakuhara, 10 F.3d 90, 96 (2d Cir. 1993), the Court is satisfied that Defendant has demonstrated "good cause" as to why it should have been permitted to respond to the complaint after its deadline has elapsed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(c); see also 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."); Liang v. Home Reno Concepts, LLC, 803 F. App'x 444, 446 n.2 (2d Cir. 2020). Specifically, Defendant has shown that (1) the default was not willful by seeking consent for an extension, and (2) Plaintiff would not be prejudiced because he consents to the extension. Even though Defendant does not expound upon its defenses, in light of the "oft-stated preference for resolving disputes on the merits," the motion is granted. See Enron Oil Corp., 10 F.3d at 95. Accordingly, Defendant shall answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint by 06/23/2023. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Marcia M. Henry on 06/01/2023. (JD)
