UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT MYERS DIVISION
LOUIS MATTHEW CLEMENTS,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 2:16-cv-776-FtM-99CM

3M ELECTRONIC MONITORING,
Defendant.
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court upon review of Request for Entry of Default
(Doc. 20) filed on May 10, 2017. Plaintiff requests entry of a Clerk’s default “on the
basis that the record in this case demonstrates that there has been a failure to plead
or otherwise defend as provided by Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.”
Doc. 20 at 1. Defendant 3M Electronic Monitoring had until May 10, 2017 to respond
to Plaintiff’s complaint. Doc. 15. Because on May 10, 2017 Defendant timely filed
a Motion to Dismiss Second Amended Complaint and to Strike Punitive Damages,
Plaintiff’s request is due to be denied. Doc. 18.
ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby
ORDERED:
Request for Entry of Default (Doc. 20) is DENIED.

DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on this 15th day of May, 2017.

Copies:
Counsel of record
