On April 20, 2016, the Clerk of Court entered default against Counterclaim
Defendants Nathan Ricciardi and Troyous Ricciardi pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 55(a). However, despite this entry of default, no default judgment
has been sought by Counterclaimant Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b ). Accordingly, the Court will order Counterclaimant
Internal Revenue Service to notify the Court if it seeks a default judgment against
Counterclaim Defendants Nathan Ricciardi and Troyous Ricciardi. Further, due to
the lack of activity in this case, the Court will order the parties to file a joint status
report indicating if this case has been informally resolved, or if a Preliminary
Pretrial Conference is necessary.
IT IS ORDERED that Counterclaimant Internal Revenue Service shall
notify the Court if it seeks a default judgment against Counterclaim Defendants
Nathan Ricciardi and Troyous Ricciardi. This notice shall be filed on or before
January 12, 2017.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file a joint status report
indicating if this case has been informally resolved, or if a Preliminary Pretrial
Conference is necessary. This joint status report shall be filed on or before
January 12, 2017.
