CIVIL ACTION NO. C-11-186
Admiralty FED. R. CIV. P. 9(h)

ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
TO GRANT PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT
On September 20, 2011, United States Magistrate Judge Brian L. Owsley signed a
Memorandum and Recommendation recommending that Plaintiff Louisiana International Marine,
L.L.C.’s Motion for Judgment by Default Against All Non-Appearing Claimants (D.E. 38, 46)1
should be granted. (D.E. 59.) No objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Memorandum and
Recommendations have been filed.
Having reviewed the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth in the Magistrate
Judge’s Memorandum and Recommendations, as well as the pleadings, and having made a de novo
review of the Magistrate Judge’s recommended disposition, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), FED. R. CIV.

1. Plaintiff’s Second Motion for Default (D.E. 46) is essentially the same as its First Motion for Default (D.E. 38),
except that the Second Motion for Default updates the parties’ positions on whether they oppose or do not oppose the
motion. (Compare D.E. 38-7 with 46-7.)

P. 72(b), the Court hereby adopts as its own the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment is GRANTED and default
judgment is entered against all non-appearing claimants.
ORDERED this 17th day of October 2011.
