August 8, 2022 Mailed a copy of 5 Order to Marcus L. Sirmans at 201 West 70th Street, Apt. 23L, New York, NY 10023. (kh)
August 5, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ORDER. By the Court's calculation, under Rule 81(c)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the time for defendant to answer the complaint (now that this case has been removed as of July 26) has passed and to date no answer has been filed. Specifically, since defendant was served with the complaint on July 6, the time for it to respond to the complaint was no later than 7 days after the notice of removal was filed (i.e., August 3). Accordingly, the Court sua sponte extends defendant's time to file its answer or otherwise respond to the complaint until August 15. Given the nature of the claim presented in this case, the parties are directed to meet and confer to see if they can resolve this dispute on their own, or alternatively (if they cannot resolve it on their own) advise the Court by letter whether they are willing to participate in an early settlement conference with the Court (or with a mediator from the Court mediation program). (HEREBY ORDERED by Magistrate Judge James L. Cott) (Text Only Order) (Cott, James)
