ORDER granting 10 Motion to Strike. Signed by David A. Sanders on 11/12/2009. (sef)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI GREENVILLE DIVISION SAMUEL T. WILLIAMS and KOURTNEY BYNUM, Individually, and DONALD REED, SR. And JUDY THOMPSON, Individually and on Behalf of the Wrongful Death Beneficiaries of DONALD REED, JR. VS. CHRISTOPHER EPPS; JOHN DOE, Jail Administrators, 1-10; RICHARD ROE, Corrections Officers, 1-10; and JOHN DOE CORPORATIONS, 1-10 ORDER This matter is before the court on motion of the plaintiff to strike the defendant's answer (# 10). The defendant has not responded to the motion, and because the defendant filed his answer after the clerk's entry of default was entered, the court finds the motion to be well taken. Should the clerk's entry of default be set aside, the defendant may then file an answer subject, of course to objections by the plaintiff. IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the plaintiffs' motion to strike the defendant's answer (# 10) is hereby GRANTED. SO ORDERED, this the 10th day of November 2009.
