Plaintiffs Carol Robinson and Shelter Realty LLC, hereby moves the Court pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55 (b)(2) and Local Rule 55.2 (b) to enter default judgment in favor of Plaintiffs and against Defendants Alpina Investments, Inc. and Mohan Toramall, on the grounds that said defendants failed to answer or otherwise defend against the complaint.

800 Third Avenue, 13th Floor New York, New York 10022 Tel: (212) 471-6200 E-mail: [email protected] To: Alpina Investments, Inc. and Mohan Toramall Upon further review, the Court holds Plaintiff's motion for default judgment against Defendants Alpina Investments, Inc. and Mohan Toramell (together, the “Defaulting Defendants”) in abeyance pending a determination of liability with respect to the non- defaulting Defendant. The Certificates of Default against the Defaulting Defendants, ECF Nos. 16, 19, remain in effect and “preclude[] [the Defaulting Defendants] from [August 26, 2025] forward, from arguing the merits of the claims made against them.”

Diarama Trading Co. Inc. v. J. Walter Thompson U.S.A., Inc., No. 01 Civ. 2950 (DAB), 2002 WL 31545845, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 13, 2002); see Schneider v. Cuddebackville Fire Dep’t, No. 11 Civ. 1499 (KMK) (S.D.N.Y. June 27, 2011) (“Because the case involves multiple defendants, entry of a default instead of a default judgment is, in the Court’s view, more appropriate in this case.”).

The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate ECF No. 24.

SO ORDERED.
