Ronaldo Designer Jewelry, Inc. v. Prinzo

Filing 96

ORDER denying without prejudice 95 Motion for Default Judgment Signed by Honorable David C. Bramlette, III on 1/31/2017 (ECW)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
WESTERN DIVISION
RONALDO DESIGNER JEWELRY, INC.
VS.

PLAINTIFF

CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:14-cv-73(DCB)(MTP)

PHILLIP PRINZO

DEFENDANT
ORDER

This cause is before the Court on the plaintiff’s Motion for
Default Judgment (docket entry 95).

The defendant has failed to

respond to the motion within 14 days as required by Rule 7(b)(4) of
the Local Uniform Civil Rules of this Court.

However, before

moving for default judgment, the plaintiff must first obtain an
entry of default from the Clerk of Court.

Although an entry of

default was entered by the Clerk on September 3, 2015, the entry
was vacated by the Court on February 5, 2016.

Therefore, the

plaintiff’s present motion shall be denied without prejudice so
that the plaintiff may first obtain an entry of default.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the plaintiff’s Motion for Default
Judgment (docket entry 95) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
SO ORDERED, this the 31st day of January, 2017.

/s/ David Bramlette
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
