UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION

UNITED STATES,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 8:16-cv-1557-T-23MAP

SCHUYLER W. LANGDON,
Defendant.
____________________________________/

ORDER
The United States sues (Doc. 1) Schuyler Langdon to collect approximately
$30,000 in student-loan debt guaranteed by the Department of Education and moves
(Doc. 14) for summary judgment. Langdon fails to respond to the motion.
A February 8, 2017 certificate of indebtedness (Doc. 14-2) from the
Department of Education shows that Langdon owes the United States $30,034.88.
Between the filing of the certificate and the entry of this order, an additional $180.50
in interest accrued. Also, the United States requests an attorney’s fee of $1,040,
which appears reasonable. Because no factual dispute appears and because the
United States is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, the motion (Doc. 14) for
summary judgment is GRANTED. The clerk is directed to enter judgment in the

amount of $31,255.38 for the United States of America and against Schuyler W.
Langdon and to close the case.
ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on March 31, 2017.
