ORDER

This matter comes before the court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment as
to Defendant Hoover. (ECF No. 73). Defendant Hoover has failed to file a responsive
pleading or to enter any appearance at all in this case; as such, the Clerk made an entry of
default against Defendant Hoover on August 17, 2010. Plaintiff has now asked this court
to enter a default judgment against Defendant Hoover for the rescission and declaratory
judgment claims asserted in Plaintiff’s Complaint.
Based on the equitable nature of the remedies sought by the plaintiff in this case,
the court is not required to enter a money judgment against Defendant Hoover.
Therefore, a damages hearing is unnecessary in this case. This court hereby grants
Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment as to Defendant Hoover and finds for the
plaintiff as to the rescission and declaratory judgment claims asserted in its complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
