As an alternative to a written response by plaintiff, the Court will consider the filing of one of the following as an appropriate response to this OSC on or before the above Dated:
Answer to Complaint or Plaintiffs Application for Default (Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a)).
It is plaintiffs responsibility to respond promptly to all Orders and to prosecute the action diligently, including filing proofs of service and stipulations extending time to respond. If necessary, plaintiff must also pursue Rule 55 remedies promptly upon the default of any defendant. All stipulations affecting the progress of the case must be approved by the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
