Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 8:12-cv-1697-T-30MAP

PATRICIA McNEILL, an individual
residing in Florida d/b/a Tampa Bay Traders
a/k/a Patricia Miller, and GLOBAL
IMPRESSIONS, INC.,
Defendants.

ORDER
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon Plaintiff’s Motion for Entry of Default
Judgment Against Defendant Global Impressions, Inc. (Dkt. 30) and Paul Bowen’s Notice
of Appearance of Counsel (Dkt. 31). The Court, having reviewed the motion, notice of
appearance, and being otherwise advised in the premises, concludes the motion for entry of
default judgment should be denied as moot.
On April 16, 2013, Magistrate Judge Mark A. Pizzo granted Paul Bowen’s unopposed
motion for leave to withdraw as counsel for Defendant Global Impressions, Inc. Judge
Pizzo’s order cautioned Global Impressions that failure to retain counsel within thirty days
may result in an entry of default judgment.
Plaintiff Get Smoked, Inc., filed its motion for entry of default judgment on May 20,
2013, based on Global Impressions’ failure to file a notice of appearance. On May 28, 2013,

Paul Bowen filed a new notice of appearance on behalf of Global Impressions. Thus, the
basis for Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment is now moot and the motion is denied.
It is therefore ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that:
1.

Plaintiff’s Motion for Entry of Default Judgment Against Defendant Global
Impressions, Inc. (Dkt. 30) is DENIED as moot.

DONE and ORDERED in Tampa, Florida on June 3, 2013.
