Barrett v. D.J. Knight & Company, Ltd. et al

Filing 24

ORDER: I turn first to paragraph 7. I hereby grant SIRVA's motion (Docket Item #18); accordingly, defendant SIRVA Relocation LLC may serve and file its Amended Answer with counterclaims as a stand-alone document, substantially in the form shown in Exhibit F to Docket Item #18. Plaintiff must serve and file a motion or answer in response to the Counterclaims within 20 days after service. I turn next to paragraph 6. Mr. Russo did not return the §636(c) consent form to me. It appears tha t he did not mail any papers to Judge Kaplan in opposition to SIRVA's motion for default judgment. Today I am sending Judge Kaplan an e-mail alerting him that SIRVA's motion for default judgment against third-party defendant Carmine Russo ( Docket Item #17) is actually returnable before Judge Kaplan, and is ready for decision by Judge Kaplan. Finally, I direct plaintiff's attorneys Paul J. Giacomo, Jr. and Rosario DeVito to serve and file Notices of Appearances with their updated mailing address, fax number, and e-mail addresses.
