Opinion
Civil Action No: 3:12-cv-1069
12-11-2012
Sheet Metal Workers National Health Fund, Plaintiff v. DSM, Inc., Defendant
Judge Sharp
Magistrate Judge Bryant
ENTRY OF DEFAULT
Pending is Plaintiff's Request for Entry of Default Pursuant to Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) against Defendant (Docket Entry No. 5). A review of the record reveals that Defendant was served on October 23, 2012, and that since being served Defendant has failed to answer within the time period allowed by law. Entry of Default against Defendant is therefore appropriate.
Accordingly, for the reasons stated above, the Clerk hereby enters default pursuant to FRCP 55(a) against Defendant DSM, Inc. This is an entry of default only. No default judgment will be granted except upon further motion pursuant to FRCP 55(b).
