PLASTECH CO., LTD., Plaintiff, v. REVERE PACKAGING, LLC, Defendants.
ORDER VACATING HEARING AND ORDER TO RESPOND
CAROLYN K. DELANEY, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
Plaintiff, Plastech Co., Ltd., filed a motion for default judgment against defendant, Revere Packaging, LLC, on March 15, 2023. (ECF No. 9.) The matter is set for hearing on April 19, 2023. Pursuant to Local Rule 230(c), defendant was required to file an opposition or statement of non-opposition to the motion no later than fourteen (14) days after the filing date of the motion, i.e. March 29, 2023. That deadline has now passed, and no opposition or statement of nonopposition has been filed.
Out of an abundance of caution, and in light of the court's desire to resolve the action on the merits, the court provides defendant one additional, final opportunity to oppose the motion.
ORDER
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The April 19, 2023 hearing on plaintiff's motion for default judgment is VACATED. The court takes this matter under submission on the papers without oral argument, pursuant to Local Rule 230(g). The court will reschedule a hearing at a future date, if necessary;
2. Any opposition by defendant shall be filed no later than April 14, 2023, and the reply brief from plaintiff, if any, is due April 21, 2023;
3. Defendant is cautioned that failure to respond to the motion in compliance with this order will be deemed as consent to a summary grant of the motion, and may result in the imposition of a default judgment against it; and
4. Plaintiff shall promptly serve a copy of this order on defendant at its last-known address, and file a proof of service.
