ORDER
JENNIFER L. ROCHON, United States District Judge
The Court is in receipt of the Clerk's Certificate of Default, dated December 7, 2022. ECF No. 94. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant shall file a motion for default judgment as to its counterclaims, in accordance with the Court's Individual Rule 3(O), no later than January 5, 2023. As stated in the Court's Individual Rules, Defendant shall serve its motion and this Order on Plaintiff within two weeks of the filing of its motion for default judgment.
In light of Plaintiff's failure to retain counsel or otherwise file a notice of appearance in this action, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the bench trial in this case, and all deadlines for the filing of pretrial submissions, are adjourned without date. Failure to retain counsel or file a notice of appearance in this case during the pending of the motion for a default judgment may result in dismissal of Plaintiff's claims for failure to prosecute.
SO ORDERED.
