ORDER
On October 30, 2007, Magistrate Judge Madeline Cox Arleo signed a Report and Recommendation ("R R"), pursuant to FE D. R. CIV. P. 72(b) and L. CIV. R. 72.1(a)(2), wherein she recommended that the Answer of corporate defendants Conquista Hotel Group, Ltd. ("Conquista") and Alanis Hotels, L.C. ("Alanis") be stricken from the record, and that default be entered against Conquista and Alanis for failure to secure counsel.
