Unless this case is voluntarily dismissed, the Court expects Plaintiff to file any application requesting an order to show cause for why default judgment should not be granted by no later than March 15, 2024. Any such application must comply fully with the Court’s Individual Rules of Practice in Civil Cases, including the procedure laid out in Attachment A to the Court’s rules. For example, any application for default judgment must include the appropriate affidavits and a memorandum of law, among other things. To the extent that Plaintiff intends to seek injunctive relief, Plaintiff must prove that the relief requested is “consistent with the ADA’s requirement that injunctive relief ordered pursuant to the statute be ‘readily achievable.’” See Kirkpatrick B.
