ORDER

MARY KAY VYSKOCIL, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE:

The Court received the two attached letters from Robert J. Basil via e-mail on October 24, 2022. Mr. Basil has been retained as local counsel for the Defendant but has not yet filed a notice of appearance. The Court will not consider any submissions from Mr. Basil until a notice of appearance is filed. Filing such a notice will not serve to forfeit any personal jurisdiction defense. All future submissions must be filed on the docket.

SO ORDERED.

Dear Judge Vyskocil:

This firm has been retained as local counsel for the Defendant in the captioned action. Please accept this letter as Defendant's request for a 21-day extension of the date when a response to the complaint is due.

The original due date is October 27, 2022. This is the first request for an extension. The reason for the request is that the non-admitted counsel in St. Louis needs some additional time to draft a response to the complaint, which includes class action allegations. I have today emailed Plaintiff's counsel to request an extension and have not yet received a response.

I have not filed a notice of appearance and therefore cannot file this letter via ECF. The sole reason for not filing a notice of appearance is that my research has failed to locate a ruling by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals confirming that filing such a notice of appearance does not waive a defense of personal jurisdiction. I understand that Catholic Supply may have such a defense.

Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Judge Vyskocil:

Following my most recent letter requesting an extension of time to respond to the Complaint in the captioned action, Plaintiff's counsel has consented to a 21-day extension of the date when a response to the complaint is due. The original due date is October 27, 2022.
