Case No. 12-cv-13689
08-08-2013
HONORABLE STEPHEN J. MURPHY, III
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (docket no. 9), AND
DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT (docket no. 7)
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's motion for entry of Default Judgment to Quiet Title (docket no. 7). The Court referred the motion to a magistrate judge, who issued a report and recommendation on July 10, 2013, recommending the Court deny the motion because defendant North CRE Venture 2010-2, LLC is a limited liability company that was not properly served pursuant to Civil Rule 4. The magistrate judge notes that Plaintiff did not effect personal service on an officer, director, or resident agent of the company.
Copies of the Report were served upon the parties on July 10, 2013. Pursuant to Civil Rule 72(b)(2), Plaintiff had fourteen days from that date in which to file any specific written objections to the recommended disposition. No objections have been filed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (requiring de novo review by a district judge only for "any part of the magistrate judge's disposition that has been properly objected to").
Accordingly, the Court will deny Plaintiff's motion for default judgment as to North CRE Venture 2010-2, LLC and order Plaintiff to file proof that this Defendant has been served in compliance with Civil Rule 4, within 7 days of the date of this Order. Failure to comply with the terms of this Order will result in dismissal of the complaint as to this Defendant without prejudice and without further notice or hearing.
WHEREFORE it is hereby ORDERED that the report and recommendation (docket no. 18) is ADOPTED and Plaintiff's motion for default judgment (docket no.) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
