Plaintiffs’ first amended complaint was filed on March 7, 2006, and was served on both 

defendants on March 15, 2006. The summons was returned executed on March 22, 2006. The 

defendants have not filed a responsive pleading, but the parties commenced settlement negotiations 

which contemplated a stipulation for entry of judgment. For this reason, the Court has continued the 

Case Management Conference at plaintiffs’ request. 

Settlement negotiations have not been successful and defendants have not responded to the 

First Amended Complaint. Accordingly, plaintiffs filed their Request for Entry of Default as to both 

defendants on November 14, 2006, and will file their motion for a default judgment after the default 

is entered. Plaintiffs request a Case Management Order vacating the Case Management Conference 

and requiring plaintiffs to file their motion for default judgment within 30 days after the clerk enters 

default.
