June 26, 2023 Filing 12 TEXT ORDER On June 21, 2023, the Clerk of Court entered #10 default against Defendant Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center. On that same day, counsel for Plaintiff [11-2] agreed to extend Defendant's time in which to file an answer or otherwise move against the complaint. But it appears that neither party was aware at the time of counsels' agreement that Defendant was already in default. (Decl. of Mark Affronti, Esq., Docket No. 11-1, para. 9.) Defendant then filed a #11 motion to vacate the Clerk's entry of default and extend time to answer. Because it is unclear whether Plaintiff's counsel understood that Defendant was already in default at the time of counsels' agreement, this Court will enter a scheduling order to ensure that there was a meeting of the minds. IT HEREBY IS ORDERED, that Plaintiff must respond to Defendant's #11 motion by July 24, 2023. Defendant may file any reply by July 31, 2023. Oral argument, if necessary, will be schedule by separate order. SO ORDERED.Issued by William M. Skretny, United States District Judge on 6/26/2023. (JCM)
