PNC BANK NA,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 14CV474

PAUL D BUDZISZ and
SUSAN L BUDZISZ,
Defendants.
_____________________________________________________________________
ORDER
On April 24, 2014, plaintiff PNC Bank filed the complaint in this case. Under Rule
12(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, defendants had 21 days after being
served to file a responsive pleading. To date, neither defendant has answered the
complaint. On June 18, 2014, plaintiff filed what it called a summary judgment motion,
although it appears plaintiff is actually seeking default judgment. Under Civil Local Rule
56(b)(2), defendants had 30 days from the date of service to respond to the summary
judgment motion. To date, defendants have not responded. The only communication
defendants have had with this court was a June 5, 2014 letter requesting “more time
before this case would go to court.” I will grant defendants an extension until August 27,
2014 to respond to plaintiffs’ complaint and motion. However, defendants are warned
that if they fail to respond by August 27, 2014, I will grant plaintiff’s motion and enter a
default judgment against them.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 7th day of August, 2014.
s/ Lynn Adelman
