This matter comes before the Court on Application to Clerk for Entry of Default (Doc. #9) filed on March 31, 2010. Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(a), the Plaintiff moves the Court for the entry of default against the Defendants

Under Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(a), default is justified "[w]hen a party against whom a judgment for affirmative relief is sought has failed to plead or otherwise appear by affidavit or otherwise, the clerk shall enter the party's default." On March 8, 2010, service was effected on both Defendants at their residence. Pursuant to the Return of Service documents (Doc. #7, 8), service was made upon Fanely Hernandez, who is the daughter of Bernardo Hernandez and sister of Josue Hernandez, residing at 1247 SE 3rd Avenue, Arcadia, Florida 34266. The process server states Fanely Hernandez is fifteen (15) years of age or older, which is in compliance with state statutes. To date, the Defendants have not responded to the Plaintiff's Complaint.
