ORDER
This action was referred to the undersigned pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(21).

On August 8, 2011, defendant was granted thirty days leave to obtain counsel and cautioned that failure to do so would result in striking of the answer. Defendant has failed to obtain counsel.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The answer filed July 1, 2011 on behalf of defendant S&K Partnership, dkt. no. 7, is stricken. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter default against defendant S&K Partnership.
2. Within sixty days, plaintiff shall move for default judgment and shall serve a copy of the motion on defendant.
