[ECF No. 41]. In response, Plaintiff requested an extension to properly effectuate service of process. [ECF No. 42]. Plaintiff explained that it had contracted with a professional process server, which made at least six attempts to personally serve Defendant at his residence before attempting to serve by mail.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Defendant’s Cross-Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 41] is denied without prejudice as moot, with leave to refile if Plaintiff fails to timely serve. SO ORDERED. | (/ lye Date: August 24, 2022 RY Y VYSKOCIL New York, NY United States District Judge
