Judge Cathy Bissoon

ORDER
AND NOW, this 30th day of November, 2012, upon consideration of Plaintiff’s Motion
for Default Judgment (Doc. 5), and all submissions related thereto (Doc. 7), this Court concludes
that the requested relief is both authorized and justified, and accordingly grants the motion.
See, e.g., Chamberlain v. Giampapa, 210 F.3d 154, 164 (3d Cir. 2000) (setting forth the factors
to be considered by a court when adjudicating a motion for default judgment); see also
Anchorage Assocs. v. Virgin Is. Bd. of Tax Rev., 922 F.2d 168, 177 n.9 (3d Cir. 1990) (noting
that the entry of default judgment typically is appropriate when a defendant fails to appear).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Rule 55 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, Judgment by Default is entered against Defendant for failure of answer, and in favor
of Plaintiff, in the amount of $3,951.72.
BY THE COURT:
