UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK wee KX THE TRAVELERS INDEMNITY COMPANY, : Plaintiff, : : 24-CV-734 (JMF) -v- : : ORDER UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYD’S, LONDON : (LLOYD’S LONDON), : Defendant. : wee KX JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge: Pursuant to the Court’s March 12, 2024 Order, ECF No. 11, Plaintiff was required to file any motion for default judgment by March 26, 2024. Although Plaintiff was required to file a motion for default judgment by that deadline, it did not; instead, it merely filed a request for a Clerk’s Certificate of Default. See ECF No. 13. On the same day, the Clerk’s Office deemed that request “deficient” because, among other things, “service was not properly effectuated.” “Tt is well settled that a court may not properly enter a default judgment unless it has jurisdiction over the party against whom the judgment is sought, which means that [each defendant] must have been effectively served with process.” Cont’! Indem. Co. v. Bulson Mgmt., LLC, No. 20-CV-3479 (JMF), 2022 WL 1747780, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. May 31, 2022) (internal quotation marks omitted). No later than April 5, 2024, Plaintiff shall submit a letter brief addressing whether service on Defendant was proper. See ECF No. 8.
