ORDER
THIS MATTER came before the Court for consideration upon Defendants
Government of the Virgin Islands on behalf of the Juan F. Luis Hospital and Lloyd Henry,
M.D.’s Motion For Reconsideration (Docket No. 11) and Plaintiff’s Motion For Entry of
Default (Docket No. 12).
Said Defendants seek reconsideration of the Court’s Order (Docket No. 9) granting
Plaintiff’s motion to compel an answer but allowing said Defendants additional time within
which to file their answer to Plaintiff’s complaint or otherwise respond.1
1.  As part of their motion, said Defendants claim that they never received the notice of electronic filing of
Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Defendant Government of the Virgin Islands to Answer (Docket No. 8).

Having reviewed the motion and the record herein, the Court finds that regardless
of Plaintiff’s motion to compel, Defendants have been given ample time to file their answer
or otherwise respond.  Said Defendants filed a motion for extension of time on November
5, 2009, in which they request an extension of thirty(30) days.  The Court granted the
request for an extension, but limited it to twenty-five (25) days from the date of the motion,
extending the deadline to November 30, 2009.  Now, eleven (11) days later and six (6) days
beyond the originally requested extension period, said Defendants still have not filed an
answer or other response.  Given the delay between the filing of the motion for
reconsideration and the issuance of this order, however, the Court will grant said
Defendants one (1) additional week.
In view of the foregoing, the Court will deny Plaintiff’s Motion For Entry of Default
Against Lloyd Henry, MD (Docket No. 12).
Accordingly, it is now hereby ORDERED:
1.
Defendants Government of the Virgin Islands on behalf of Juan F. Luis
Hospital and Lloyd Henry, M.D.’s Motion For Reconsideration (Docket No.
11) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.
However, the notice of electronic filing clearly shows that notice was sent to counsel for said Defendants to
the e-mail address on file.  See Notice of Electronic Filing attached.
