24 24 order Order on Motion for Default Judgment Order on Motion to Set Aside Default Fri 07/11 9:41 AM
ORDER DENYING as moot 20 Motion for Default Judgment; GRANTING 23 Motion to Set Aside Default. Given the Second Circuit's "oft-stated preference for resolving disputes on the merits," Enron Oil Corp. v. Diakuhara , 10 F.3d 90, 95 (2d Cir. 1993), and the appearance of counsel for Defendant, the motion to set aside default is GRANTED . Because the default is set aside, Plaintiff cannot obtain a default judgment. See New York v. Green , 420 F.3d 99, 104 (2d Cir. 2005) (explaining entry of default is "first step" to moving for default judgment and parties may only obtain a default judgment after "[h]aving obtained a default"). Accordingly, the motion for default judgement is DENIED as moot . Signed by Judge Victor A. Bolden on 7/11/25. (Nelson, J)
