NITETEK LICENSING LLC, Plaintiff, v. EVBOX NORTH AMERICA INC., Defendant.
ORDER
DENISE COTE, District Judge:
An Order of July 7, 2021 required the plaintiff to file an amended complaint or respond to the defendant's motion to dismiss by July 27, 2021. The plaintiff did neither by July 27. On August 4, attorney David deBruin requested that the deadline to file an amended complaint be extended to August 10, claiming that he “did not receive a copy of the [defendant's motion to dismiss] and only found out about it today.” Mr. deBruin is not admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, has not filed a motion for admission pro hac vice in this case, and is not listed as counsel for the plaintiff on ECF. It is hereby
ORDERED that plaintiff shall file an amended complaint by August 10, 2021. It is unlikely that plaintiff will have a further opportunity to amend.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. deBruin shall move for admission pro hac vice by August 10, 2021. The plaintiff shall also retain alternate local counsel by August 10, 2021.
Counsel is reminded that attorneys are obligated to monitor the dockets of their pending cases and to comply with the Court's scheduling orders. In re DeMarco, 733 F.3d 457, 463 (2d Cir. 2013).
