address. Docs. 5 and 6. On November 10, 2010, pursuant to Plaintiff's request, the Clerk of the Court entered default against both Defendants. Thereafter, Plaintiff filed a motion for default judgment on December 22, 2010. Defendants were served with a copy of the motion at their business address. On February 9, 2011, the Court issued Findings and Recommendation that Plaintiff's motion for default judgment be granted. The Findings and Recommendation contained notice that any objections were to be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of service of the order. To date, Defendants have not filed any objections. However, Defendants appeared for a Scheduling Conference on March 14, 2011. Defendants apparently were unaware that the Scheduling Conference had been taken off calendar after the Court issued its Findings and Recommendation. Doc. 14. Defendants explained to the Clerk's Office the following: (1) On January 4, 2011, Defendants received information from the Clerk's Office regarding the Scheduling Conference set for March 14, 2011; (2) Defendants believed that they were not required to act until the Scheduling Conference; and (3) The business address used for service reportedly does not receive delivery of mail. Based on Defendants' efforts to appear and potential issues regarding service, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows: 1. The deadline to file any written objections to the Findings and Recommendation is extended fourteen (14) days from service of this Order. No further extensions will be permitted absent a showing of good cause. 2. Within fourteen (14) days of service of this Order, Defendants are directed to: (a) file written objections to the Findings and Recommendation, explaining the circumstances leading to entry of default, Defendants' efforts to appear in this matter and the receipt of mail at Defendants' business address. The document should be clearly titled "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation;" and/or (b) contact Plaintiff's counsel, Thomas Peter Riley, Jr. According to the Court 2
