ORDER ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation ("R R") of United States Magistrate Judge Madeline C. Arleo, filed on October 6, 2009, regarding corporate defendants Star Atlantic Corporation, a New Jersey Corporation ("SAC/NJ"); and Star Atlantic Corporation, a Florida Corporation ("SAC/FL")'s failure to obtain corporate counsel.

The Court has reviewed the R R and the other documents on file in this matter. Based on the foregoing, and for good cause shown,
It is hereby ORDERED that the R R of Magistrate Judge Arleo, filed on October 6, 2009, is ADOPTED as the conclusions of law of this Court; and it is further
ORDERED that SAC/NJ and SAC/FL's Answer and Counterclaims (Docket entry no. 35) are stricken; and it is further
ORDERED that Plaintiff be allowed to proceed to judgment by default as to SAC/NJ and SAC/FL and enter default against them.
