SESA, INC., Plaintiff, v. TERRAFINA, LLC, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
LEWIS J. LIMAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
Plaintiff SESA, Inc. brought the instant action against Defendant Frunut Global Commodities, LLC, among other defendants, claiming breach of contract, account stated, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel, fraud, imposition of a constructive trust, fraudulent conveyance, and alter ego, successor, and/or de facto merger liability.
On June 4, 2021, the Clerk entered a certificate of default as to Frunut Global Commodities, LLC. Dkt. No. 51. On July 16, 2021, Plaintiff moved pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b)(2) for entry of a default judgment against Frunut Global Commodities, LLC. Dkt. No. 54. The Court held a hearing on the motion for default judgment on September 9, 2021, and Frunut Global Commodities, LLC did not appear.
Pursuant to the Court's authority under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55, the Court has examined the Plaintiff's motion for default judgment, Dkt. No. 54, and the complaint, Dkt. No. 30. The Court is satisfied that the allegations of the complaint-if taken as true-would establish liability as to Frunut Global Commodities, LLC. Because Frunut Global Commodities, LLC has failed to appear in this case despite having been served, it is hereby ORDERED that a default judgment is entered against Defendant Frunut Global Commodities, LLC as to liability on Plaintiff's claims against it.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motion at Dkt. No. 54.
SO ORDERED.
