v.

MICHAEL DAVID CARDOZE, et al., Defendants. ____________________________________/

On May 05, 2010, plaintiff Joe Hand Promotions moved for entry of default against Michael Cardoze, doing business as Mike's Sports Bar. The Clerk's Office entered default on May 11, 2010. Michael Cardoze then filed a document captioned "Reply to Plaintiff's Request for Entry of Judgment" on June 14, 2010. Plaintiff filed a motion to strike that document as impertinent, immaterial and scandalous on July 02, 2010. The Court cannot consider arguments or positions on the merits unless and until the defendant files a motion to set aside the entry of default pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(c). Accordingly, the defendant's document will be disregarded. This matter is decided without oral argument pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b) and the hearing scheduled for August 12, 2010 is vacated.
