ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Enter Default Judgement of James
Cannon Jr. [dkt 6]. On October 24, 2011, Plaintiff filed with the Court his Complaint and an
application to proceed in forma pauperis. On November 18, 2011, the Court granted Plaintiff’s
application to proceed in forma pauperis and dismissed his Complaint for failure to state a claim
upon which relief may be granted. On January 9, 2012, Plaintiff filed the instant Motion, seeking
the Court’s entry of default judgment against Defendant James Cannon, Jr. for his failure to answer
the Complaint. As the Court sua sponte dismissed Plaintiff’s Complaint for failure to state a claim
on November 18, 2011, no answer from Defendant was necessary. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion
is DISMISSED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
