Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AS TO
WHY SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSED FOR
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS COURT’S ORDER
[DKT. 15]
On November 4, 2024, this Court issued an order requesting Plaintiff Alexis
Clark submit a detailed proposed order regarding her motion for default judgment.
[Dkt. 15]. The order specifically requested “a detailed proposed order” which “set
forth the relief or action sought and brief statement of the rationale for the decision
with appropriate citations” submitted by November 22, 2024. [Id.].
Instead, Plaintiff provided a proposed order containing a single sentence:
“Plaintiff, Alexis N. Clark, by and through her attorneys, having filed with this
Court his Motion for Entry of Default and the Court having reviewed same, hereby
ORDERED: An Entry of Default shall be entered against the Defendant, United
Debt Settlement, LLC.” On November 25, 2024, Plaintiff untimely provided an
additional proposed order that failed to cite to the Eitel factors, or courts’ legal
basis for granting default judgment. [Dkt. 16].
Accordingly, the Court ORDERS counsel for Plaintiff Alexis Clark to show
cause as to why he should not be sanctioned in an amount not to exceed $500 for
his failure to comply with the Court’s Order [Dkt. 15].
