UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

PARRISH REDD,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 14-14340
Hon. Marianne O. Battani

v.
TERRANCE VAILS, et al.,
Defendants.
____________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DENYING
PLAINTIFF’S “EMERGENCY MOTION” REQUEST FOR CLERK TO
ENTER DEFAULT UNDER FED. R. CIV. P. 55(a) AGAINST DEFENDANT
Plaintiff filed a pro se complaint alleging copyright infringement in November
2014. The Court referred the case to United States Magistrate Judge R. Steven
Whalen for all pretrial proceedings. On May 1, 2015, Magistrate Judge Whalen issued
a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that the Court deny Plaintiff’s
motion, which is his seventh motion for either entry of default or for a default judgment
as to Chris Hugan and Marty Peters. In addition, the Magistrate Judge recommended
that Plaintiff be barred from filing any further motions for entry of default or default
judgment without first obtaining leave of the Court to file.
In his Report and Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge informed the parties
that objections to the R&R needed to be filed “within fourteen (14) days of service” and
that a party’s failure to file objections would waive any further right of appeal. (Doc. No.
59 at 2). No objection has been filed.

The Court agree with the analysis and recommendations contained in the R&R.
Therefore, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s recommendations and DENIES
Plaintiff’s motion.
In addition, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff is BARRED from filing any
further motions for entry of default or default judgment without leave of the Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: June 17, 2015
