ORDER

HERNDON, Chief Judge:
Pending before the Court is defendant Guenlen L. Kinnard, Jr.’s April 21,
2014 motion to set aside default judgment (Doc. 18). Specifically, Kinnard moves
the Court to set aside its April 14, 2014 Default Judgment entered against himself.
As of this date, plaintiff Joe Hand Productions, Inc. has not responded to the
motion. Thus, the Court considers this failure to respond as an admission of the
merits of the motion and GRANTS the motion to set aside default judgment. 1 The
Court VACATES the portion of the April 14, 2014 Default Judgment entered
against defendant Kinnard individually.

The Default Judgment entered against

the other defendants remains valid and intact.
Signed this 27th day of May, 2014.
