KATHARINE H. PARKER United States Magistrate Judge
REPORT & RECOMMENDATION TO: THE HONORABLE LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
FROM: KATHARINE H. PARKER, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On June 14, 2018, the undersigned granted Plaintiffs' former counsel's motion to withdraw as counsel of record. (Doc. No. 42.) The Court then ordered Plaintiffs to obtain new counsel by July 9, 2018, or the case may be dismissed for failure to prosecute. (Doc. No. 44.) On July 6, 2018, Mr. Carl George, Chairman of Champion's League, Inc. faxed a letter to the Court seeking an extension of time for Plaintiffs to obtain new counsel, which the Court granted. (Doc. No. 51.) On July 10, 2018, Defendants filed a letter requesting that the Court dismiss the action with prejudice because Plaintiffs failed to obtain new counsel. (Doc. No. 49.) As the Court had extended Plaintiffs' deadline to obtain new counsel, and as Plaintiffs have obtained new counsel who have duly filed notices of appearances in this action, this Court recommends that Defendants' request (at doc. no. 49) be denied as moot.
Respectfully submitted, DATED: New York, New York
July 27, 2018
