MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff=s motion for default judgment as to
Defendant Bradley Roberts (Doc. 42). Plaintiff requests default judgment against this defendant
and a hearing to determine the proper amount of damages. For the following reasons, this
motion will be DENIED.
The Clerk of the Court entered a default order against Defendant Bradley Robert on
February 2, 2015, for failure to plead or otherwise defend in this case. Local Rule 55.1(a) states
that the serving party shall give notice of the entry of the default to the defaulting party by
regular mail sent to the last known address of the defaulted party and shall certify to the Court
that notice has been sent.
Plaintiff has not certified to the Court that notice of the entry of the default was sent to
Defendant Bradley Robert.

As such, Plaintiff=s motion for default judgment (Doc. 42) is

DENIED without prejudice for failure to comply with Local Rule 55.1.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
