In his response, plaintiff indicates that he has had numerous communications with the defendant in an effort to resolve this matter. Plaintiff requests an additional forty-five (45) days within which to either conclude his negotiations with the defendant or move for entry of a default judgment if defendant, proceeding pro se, does not file an answer to the complaint.
