Case No. 08-CV-13142.
December 31, 2008
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT AGAINST DEFENDANT EAGLE 1 TREE SERVICE, LLC
Plaintiff commenced this suit on July 22, 2008. Defendant Eagle 1 Tree Service, LLC ("Eagle") was served on September 26, 2008. To date, Defendant Eagle has neither filed an answer nor appeared in this matter, and the time for responsive pleading has long since expired. Plaintiff sought, and obtained, an entry of default from the Clerk of the Court on October 27, 2008. Plaintiff filed the current motion, seeking the entry of a default judgment, on December 10, 2008, which required Defendant Eagle to respond by December 28, 2008. No response was filed. The court reviewed the motion and finds that the requirements for obtaining a default judgment have been met. Because Defendant Eagle has not filed an answer or otherwise appeared in this matter, the court, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b), now grants Plaintiff's unopposed motion and enters a default judgment against Defendant Eagle for the sum certain amount of $90,995.37, plus interest accruing thereon in the applicable statutory rate.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's "Motion for Entry of Default Judgment in Favor of Plaintiff and Against Defendant Eagle 1 Tree Service, LLC Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(b)(1)" [Dkt. #27] is GRANTED.
