MINUTE ORDER
ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs' Status Report and Request for Procedural Guidance [Docket No. 37; Filed January 4, 2012] (the "Motion"). Three corporate defendants remain in this case, none of which have filed a responsive pleading. A Scheduling Conference is set in this matter for January 10, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. Plaintiffs request that the Scheduling Conference be vacated. They also request guidance as to the next steps to be taken in this case. However, they "believe the remaining steps in this case are simply for the Plaintiffs to determine their actual damages . . . , file a motion for default against the three defendants, and then have the court hold a hearing or accept by way of briefing and affidavits the amount of damages to attach to a default judgment." See Motion [#37] at 2, ¶ 8.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is GRANTED. Accordingly,
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED as follows: (1) the Scheduling Conference set for January 10, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. is VACATED; (2) Plaintiffs shall file a motion for entry of default pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a) on or before January 31, 2012; (3) Plaintiffs shall file a motion for entry of default judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b) on or before February 29, 2012.
