In the event that Defendant appears in this case and opposes the motion for default judgment prior to the scheduled court appearance on November 3, 2021, that court appearance shall also serve as an Initial Case Management Conference pursuant to 5.B of the Court's Individual Rules and Practices in Civil Cases.
It is further ORDERED that Plaintiffs serve Defendant via overnight courier with a copy of this Order within one week of the date of this Order. Within two business days of service, Plaintiffs must file proof of such service on the docket.
