MEMORANDUM-DECISION AND ORDER
The United States of America moves (Dkt. No. 10) for default judgment in this action to recover monies owed by defendant on a student loan. On November 2, 2012, the Government obtained a Clerk's Entry of Default (Dkt. No. 9). The amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 5), attorney affidavit, and the certificate of indebtedness establish the amount due and defendant's nonpayment. Plaintiff has demonstrated its entitlement to the relief sought.
The record shows that on Loan 1 defendant is indebted to plaintiff in the principal sum of $983.75, plus interest through December 7, 2012 the sum of $1,916.99 for a total of $2,900.74. The record further shows that on Loan 2 defendant is indebted to plaintiff in the principal sum of $2,580.75, plus interest through December 7, 2012 in the sum of $5,028.93, for a total of $7,609.68. The total sum due for both loans is $10,510.42.
It is therefore
ORDERED that plaintiff have default judgment against defendant for the sum of $10,510.42.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
