`
`Victoria von Vistauxx, Paralegal Specialist:
`
`
`On October 18, 2016, Applicant filed a communication which the Board presumed
`
`was Applicant’s intended answer to the notice of opposition. The said communication
`
`was not served on counsel for Opposer and it was not in compliance with Rule 8(b) of
`
`the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On October 31, 2016, the Board allowed
`
`Applicant thirty days in which to file and serve on counsel for Opposer an answer
`
`which complies in full with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8.
`
`A review of the file record reveals that no answer has been filed, nor has Applicant
`
`filed a motion to extend the time to file an answer.
`
`Accordingly, notice of default is hereby entered against Applicant pursuant to Fed.
`
`R. Civ. P. 55(a).1 Applicant is allowed until thirty days from the mailing date of this
`
`
`1 Inasmuch as Applicant is in default, the parties’ obligations to hold the discovery conference,
`and to serve initial disclosures, are effectively stayed. See TBMP § 312.01.
`
`
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91230027
`
`order to show cause why judgment by default should not be entered against Applicant
`
`in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b)(2).
