UNITED STATES FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
WESTERN DIVISION
AT DAYTON

IRON WORKERS DISTRICT COUNCIL
OF SOUTHERN OHIO & VICINITY
BENEFIT TRUST, et al.,
Plaintiffs,

CASE NO. 3:15-CV-00248

JUDGE THOMAS M. ROSE

v.
JAMES R. LAUER, et al.,

ORDER

Defendants.

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT
Before this Court, Plaintiffs Iron Workers District Council of Southern Ohio & Vicinity
Benefit Trust, Iron Workers District Council of Southern Ohio & Vicinity Pension Trust, Iron
Workers District Council of Southern Ohio & Vicinity Annuity Trust (collectively “Trusts” or
“Plaintiffs”) submitted a Motion for Default Judgment against the Defendant GHG Construction,
LLC (“GHG”). One defendant, James R. Lauer, has answered the complaint, and he and
Plaintiff have been ordered to prepare a discovery plan.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) provides:
(b) Judgment on Multiple Claims or Involving Multiple Parties.
When an action presents more than one claim for relief—whether
as a claim, counterclaim, crossclaim, or third-party claim—or
when multiple parties are involved, the court may direct entry of a
final judgment as to one or more, but fewer than all, claims or
parties only if the court expressly determines that there is no just
reason for delay. Otherwise, any order or other decision, however
designated, that adjudicates fewer than all the claims or the rights
and liabilities of fewer than all the parties does not end the action
as to any of the claims or parties and may be revised at any time

before the entry of a judgment adjudicating all the claims and all
the parties’ rights and liabilities.
.

Plaintiffs’ motion does not establish that there is no just reason for delay. Plaintiffs’

Motion for Default Judgment, doc. 11, is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED

Date: Monday, January 11, 2015
