UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
SHREVEPORT DIVISION

DENISE WADE

CIVIL ACTION NO. 16-cv-1291

VERSUS

JUDGE HICKS

ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICES
GROUP, LLC, ET AL

MAGISTRATE JUDGE HORNSBY

MEMORANDUM ORDER
Plaintiff filed this civil action against several defendants. She settled with some. Of
the others, the only defendant to file an answer is Natalia Kabanova. A default has been
entered against the other non-settling defendants.
The court set deadlines for the completion of discovery and the filing of any motion
for summary judgment or other dispositive motion with respect to the claims by Plaintiff
against Ms. Kabanova. Doc. 32. The November 3, 2017 deadline for dispositive motions
has passed, and no such motions have been filed. The next step with respect to the claims
against Ms. Kabanova will be to set deadlines for the filing of a pretrial order, proposed
jury instructions, and other matters related to the jury trial demanded by Plaintiff. Before
taking those steps, the court would like to see the other outstanding claims resolved.
In August 2017, the court directed Plaintiff to, within a reasonable time, file a
motion or motions for default judgment with respect to the several defaulted defendants.
Doc. 32. The order directed that the “motion(s) should be fully supported by affidavits,
documentation or other evidence sufficient to prove the validity of service of process, the

liability of defendant(s), and the extent of damages suffered. The motion(s) shall be
supported by a memorandum that explains the legal basis for liability and damages, and
that states whether an evidentiary hearing is necessary under the rules explained in Leedo
Cabinetry v. James Sales & Distribution, Inc., 157 F.3d 410, 414 (5th Cir. 1998). The
motion(s) must be accompanied by a proposed judgment.” Plaintiff has not yet filed any
motions for default judgment. The court now sets February 5, 2018 as the deadline for
filing any motions for default judgment. Failure to timely file such a motion with respect
to a defaulted defendant may result in the claims against that defendant being dismissed
for failure to prosecute.
If Plaintiff does not wish to pursue her claims against Ms. Kabanova or any other
party, she should file a stipulation of dismissal or motion for voluntary dismissal.
THUS DONE AND SIGNED in Shreveport, Louisiana, this 5th day of January,
2018.
