ORDER DENYING 47 Motion for Default Judgment, signed by Chief Judge William C Griesbach on 10/25/2018.. (cc: all counsel) (Griesbach, William)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

KEVIN OMAR HARPER,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 18-C-753

ERIC STEFONEK, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR DEFAULT

Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Default Judgment against the defendants, even though the
defendants have filed Answers denying liability as to the claims set forth in the Complaint. In
essence, it appears that Plaintiff is seeking summary judgment. By his own admission, however, the
defendants deny liability. It is premature to seek summary judgment, especially based simply on the
unauthenticated documents the defendant has filed. Accordingly, the motion is denied.
Dated this 25th

day of October, 2018.
