ORDER GRANTING SECOND AMENDED
MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT
Before the Court is the Second Amended Motion [25] for Entry of Judgment
by Default filed by plaintiff American Contractors Indemnity Company. One
defendant named in this case, The LaSalle Group, Inc., was previously dismissed by
the Court. (Agreed Order of Dism., ECF No. 15). The clerk of court has entered
default against each of the remaining defendants. (See ECF Nos. 21 & 23). The
plaintiff now seeks default judgment against these remaining defendants, and has
provided an affidavit stating that damages have been liquidated in the amount of
$272,879.25. This amount reflects all losses, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees
incurred by plaintiff.
Having reviewed the pleadings and docket in this case, the Court finds that
American Contractors Indemnity Company is entitled to a default judgment
pursuant to Rule 55(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure against the named
defendants in the amount of $272,879.25, plus costs and post-judgment interest.
