ENTRY OF DEFAULT
On December 18, 2012, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("plaintiff') filed this action
against Sheila Faircloth ("defendant") [D.E. 1]. According to plaintiffs affidavit in support of its
motion for entry of default, defendant was served with summons and the complaint on February 28,
2013 [D .E. 7-1]. On May 2, 2013, plaintiff moved for entry of default [D .E. 7].
Defendant has not filed an answer or response to plaintiffs complaint, and the time within
which defendant may do so has expired. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1)(A). Rule 55(a) ofthe Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure provides for entry of default against a party who "has failed to plead or
otherwise defend." It appears that defendant is subject to default. Accordingly, plaintiffs motion
for entry of default against defendant Sheila Faircloth is GRANTED [D.E. 7].
