This matter is before the Court upon the Motion of Plaintiff Grout Doctor Global
Franchise Corp. ("GDG") for Entry of Default against Defendant Gary Swanson. GDG brings
this Motion pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Upon considering the Motion for Entry of Default,
the Court makes the fo !lowing findings of fact and conclusions of law:
GDG caused a copy of the Summons and Complaint in this action to be served on
Swanson in compliance with Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as evidenced by the
Affidavit of Service previously filed with the Court.
On June 4, 2014, Swanson filed a Motion to Dismiss GOG's Complaint ("Motion to
Dismiss").
On September 22, 2014, the Court issued an Order denying Swanson's Motion to
Dismiss.
Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. l2(a)(4)(A), Swanson was required to answer or otherwise
respond to GOG's Complaint within 14 days of the Court's September 22, 2014 Order.

Since the Court entered its Order on September 22, 2014, Swanson has not filed any
answer, motion to dismiss, motion for extension, or other response to GDG's Complaint.

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Motion for Entry of Default.
ORDERED that a default be entered against Defendant Gary Swanson.
