Defendants were served with the Complaint on April 26, 2021, and proof of service was filed with the Court. See ECF Nos. 9 & 10. To date, Defendants have neither answered the Complaint, nor otherwise appeared in this action.

Defendant shall file any opposition to the motion for default judgment no later than June 11, 2021. Defendants are cautioned that a corporation and a partnership may appear in federal court only through licensed counsel, see Lattanzio v. COMTA, 481 F.3d 137, 140 (2d Cir. 2007); Grace v. Bank Leumi Tr. Co. of N.Y., 443 F.3d 180, 192 (2d Cir. 2006), and where a corporation or a partnership "repeatedly fails to appear by counsel, a default judgment may be entered against it," Grace, 443 F.3d at 192 (internal quotation marks omitted).

In the event that any Defendant appears or opposes the motion for default judgment prior to that date, the parties shall prepare to treat that conference as the initial pretrial conference with respect to any such appearing Defendant. That is, if any Defendant appears, opposes the motion, or seeks a nunc pro tunc extension of time to respond to the complaint, then the parties including any such appearing Defendant shall follow the pre-conference procedures specified in the Court's Order of DATE including by submitting a joint letter addressing certain topics and a proposed case management plan no later than the Thursday prior to the conference and by participating in an early mediation session at least two weeks prior to the conference.
