MEMORANDUM ORDER
MILTON I. SHADUR, Senior District Judge.
This Court's August 22, 2013 memorandum order (1) identified the several respects in which the purported Answer filed by Lindsey Bache ("Bache") violated a number of basic principles of federal pleading, (2) struck Bache's filing sua sponte without prejudice to his replacing it promptly with a proper pleading and (3) notified Bache that failure to file a self-contained Amended Answer on or before August 30, 2013 would render him vulnerable to the entry of a default judgment. This Court has held off for more than 10 days after that August 30 deadline to see whether Bache would comply—but he has not. Accordingly he is declared in default and is a potential target for suffering the consequences of such default. Although the previously-set next status date is not until October 22, that does not preclude plaintiffs from seeking appropriate relief in the interim.
