How much time would I have to plead/request extension of time if the Plaintiff files Motion for Default-Failure to Plead?
Just want to cover my bases and know ahead of time...just in case.

A motion for extension of time will probably not be granted if filed after a motion for default. You have until the default is granted to filed the response pleading. Motions for default may be granted by the clerk after seven days and are not placed on the short calendar. See Chapter 17 of the Practice Book. Things can move very quickly in a collections matter.
