the parties have discussed settlement but, in the absence of

defendants’ active participation, plaintiffs anticipate again

requesting default and moving for default judgment. 

If the parties have reached settlement they may, within

ten days of service of this order, file a stipulation requesting

voluntary dismissal of this action pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.

41(a)(1). 

Alternatively, defendants may serve and file, within

twenty days of service of this order, a proposed answer and

motion for enlargement of time within which to file it, which the

court will evaluate for excusable neglect pursuant to Fed. R.

Civ. P. 6(b)(2). 

Should the parties decline to voluntarily dismiss this

action and defendants fail timely to seek enlargement of time

within which to file their answer, plaintiffs shall request the

Clerk of Court to enter default and file a motion for default

judgment.

So ordered. 

Dated: November 9, 2005.
