ENTRY OF DEFAULT AGAINST
SOUTHERN COUNTRY RANCH
Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Entry of Default (Docket Entry No. 90) and a Motion for
Default Judgment (Docket Entry No. 92) against Defendant Southern Country Ranch. As stated by
the Clerk in his Notice by Clerk (Docket Entry No. 94), Jerry Speer, Trustee for Southern Country
Ranch, has filed a Response in Opposition (Docket Entry No. 93) that purports to respond on behalf
of Southern Country Ranch. However, as was determined by the Magistrate Judge and approved by
the District Judge (Docket Entries 70, 77 & 87), Mr. Speer may not represent or file documents on
behalf of Southern Country Ranch in this legal proceeding. In his Notice the Clerk advised Southern
Country Ranch that it must be represented by counsel or it would be at risk of being found in default.
Despite multiple admonitions by the Court and ample time to do so, Defendant Southern Country
Ranch has refused to engage counsel and enter an appearance in this matter.

Accordingly, upon motion by Plaintiff, the Clerk hereby enters default against Defendant
Southern Country Ranch pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a). The docket clerk is
instructed to terminate as pending Plaintiff’s Motion for Entry of Default (Docket Entry No. 90).
Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment (Docket Entry No. 92) is made pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 55(b)(2) and may not be decided by the Clerk. That motion will remain pending for
a determination by the Court.
