Opinion

Civil Action No. 7:07-cv-0063(HL).

December 28, 2007


ORDER


Defendant Sheree A. Rockmore, a claimant in this interpleader action, has filed a motion for default judgment (Doc. 19) against the other two defendants. Obtaining a default judgment is a two step process: the entry of default by the clerk and the subsequent entry of a default judgment by either the clerk or the court. See 10 MOORE'S FED. PRACTICE § 55.10 (3d ed. 2007); FED. R. CIV. P. 55. Here, a review of the docket in this case reveals that Defendant Rockmore has not applied to the clerk of court for an entry of default. As a result, Defendant's motion for default judgment is denied. If Defendant Rockmore wants this Court to enter a default judgment against the other defendants, she must first have the clerk make an entry of default.

SO ORDERED.
