following defendants: pro se individual defendant Carmen Cottone, pro se corporate defendant

counsel would expose them to an entry of default judgment, Dkt. 343. See Lattanzio v. COMTA,
481 F.3d 137, 139 (2d Cir. 2007) (“[A] layperson may not represent a separate legal entity such

judgment be held on December 16, 2019, at 2:30 p.m. as part of the previously scheduled
conference in this matter. Plaintiffs are directed to serve this order, as well as plaintiffs’ motion
