On March 13, 2013, the United States of America, ex. rei Communications Supply
Corporation ("plaintiff') initiated this action against defendants Walbridge Company, Command
Communications, LLC, and John Doe Surety [D.E. 1]. On March 15,2013, plaintiff filed a first
amended complaint naming as defendants Walbridge Company a/k/a Walbridge Aldinger Company,
Command Communications, LLC, Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America, and Liberty
Mutual Insurance Company [D .E. 8]. On May 1, 2013, plaintiff moved for entry of default against
Command Communications, LLC [D.E. 18]. For the reasons stated, plaintiffs motion for entry of
default is granted [D.E. 18].
According to plaintiff, Command Communications, LLC was served with summons and the
original and first amended complaints on March 21, 2013 [D.E. 17, D.E. 18]. Command

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides for entry of default against a party who "has failed to

plead or otherwise defend." Accordingly, plaintiffs motion for entry of default against defendant
Command Communications, LLC is GRANTED [D.E. 18].
