NAMEL NORRIS, Plaintiff, v. PSYCHIC BOUTIQUE CORP., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
VERNON S. BRODERICK, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff initiated this action on October 9, 2021, (Doc. 1), and filed an affidavit of service as to Defendant Psychic Boutique Corp. on December 25, 2021, (Doc. 8.) Defendant Psychic Boutique Corp.'s answer was due by November 26, 2021. (See id.) On January 7, 2022, I ordered Plaintiff to move for default judgment against Defendant Psychic Boutique Corp. or otherwise risk dismissal of those claims for failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). (Doc. 9.) On April 5, 2022, Plaintiff moved to vacate my order for Plaintiff to seek default judgment against Defendant Psychic Boutique Corp. because the attorney for Defendant Psychic Boutique Corp. stated that Defendant Psychic Boutique Corp. “is in bankruptcy and that there will be an ‘automatic stay.'” (Doc. 19.) On April 6, 2022 and again on April 29, 2022, I ordered Plaintiff to notify Defendant Psychic Boutique Corp. that this Court orders Defendant to enter its appearance on or before April 20, 2022 for the limited purpose of filing a notice of the bankruptcy action and the automatic stay. (Docs. 21-22.) Defendant Psychic Boutique Corp. has now filed an appearance in this matter. (Doc. 23.) Accordingly, it is hereby:
ORDERED that, on or before May 19, 2022, Defendant Psychic Boutique Corp. file a notice of the bankruptcy action and the related stay of this action against Defendant Psychic Boutique Corp.
SO ORDERED.
