ORDER

14
15

This Court ordered Defendants to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint before

16

July 12, 2011. Doc. 12. Defendants did not comply with this order. On July 20, 2011,

17

counsel for Defendants filed a notice of appearance and request to contest damages. Doc. 13.

18

The notice suggests that Defendants have no defense to the alleged statutory violations, but

19

wish to contest damages. The notice, however, is not a proper response to a complaint under

20

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Defendants shall, by September 2, 2011, answer or

21

otherwise respond to the complaint. Defendants shall also comply more diligently with the

22

Court’s deadlines.
