Opinion

No. 07-1347-cv.

March 20, 2009.

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of appeal No. 07-1347-cv from the judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.

Mathew E. Hoffman and Nicole V. Barbara, Todtman, Nachamie, Spizz, Johns, P.C., New York, N.Y., for Appellee.

Rauf Ashraf, pro se, Brookline, Mass.

Vikrant Pawar, for Appellant Empyrean Investment Fund, L.P.

PRESENT: Hon. JOHN M. WALKER, JR., Hon. GUIDO CALABRESI, Hon. SONIA SOTOMAYOR, Circuit Judges.


SUMMARY ORDER

Defendants appeal the District Court's entry of default judgment and denial of a motion to vacate the entry of default judgment. We assume the parties' familiarity as to the facts, procedural history, and issues raised on appeal.

We review the District Court's decision for abuse of discretion. See Pecarsky v. Galaxiworld.com Ltd., 249 F.3d 167, 171 (2d Cir. 2001). Having thoroughly reviewed the record, we find Appellants' claims to be meritless for substantially the reasons stated by the District Court. Accordingly, we AFFIRM its decision.
