This cause came on for consideration without oral argument on the following motion filed herein:
MOTION: MOTION FOR CLERK'S DEFAULT (Doc. No. 13)

THEREON it is ORDERED that the motion is DENIED as moot.
Plaintiff has filed an amended motion. Doc. No. 14.
MOTION: AMENDED MOTION FOR CLERK'S DEFAULT AND SUPPORTING MEMORANDUM OF LAW (Doc. No. 14)
FILED: October 18, 2023
THEREON it is ORDERED that the motion is GRANTED.
Upon review of the motion and the returns of service (Doc. Nos. 8-9, 14), the Court finds the motion well taken, and that both Defendants have been properly served. See generally United States v. Donald, Case No. 3:09-cv-147-J-32HTS, 2009 WL 1810357, at *1 (M.D. Fla. June 24, 2009) (before a Clerk's default can be entered against a defendant, the Court must determine that the defendant was properly served). Accordingly, the motion (Doc. No. 14) is GRANTED, and the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter default against Defendants Bondio LLC and Joseph Mirakhor. Further, upon review of Plaintiff's response (Doc. No. 15), the Court's Order to Show Cause (Doc. No. 12) is hereby DISCHARGED.
