Meinke v. Southern Paramedic Services Inc

Filing 8

ORDER granting 7 Motion to Strike. The Court directs the Clerk to enter a default. Southern Paramedic must respond to the motion for a default judgment, move to set aside the default, and move to file a belated answer (attaching its proposed pleading) if the company wants to defend on liability, which it seems it does. Signed by Judge D. P. Marshall Jr. on 9/10/2015. (jak)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION

MATT MEINKE

v.

PLAINTIFF
No. 4:15-cv-448-DPM

SOUTHERN PARAMEDIC SERVICES, INC.

DEFENDANT

ORDER
This case has gotten tangled at the front door. Southern Paramedic
didn't answer in time. Meinke moved for a default judgment, NQ 3, not a
Clerk's default. FED. R. CIV. P. 55(a). Then Southern Paramedic answered. NQ
4. Meinke's motion to strike the untimely answer, NQ 7, is granted. The Court

directs the Clerk to enter a default. Southern Paramedic must respond to the
motion for a default judgment, move to set aside the default, and move to file
a belated answer (attaching its proposed pleading) if the company wants to
defend on liability, which it seems it does.
So Ordered.
