America Steel Trade Corporation v. Metalhouse, LLC

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION AMERICA STEEL TRADE CORPORATION, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 6:22-cv-915-RBD-EJK METALHOUSE, LLC, Defendant. ____________________________________ ORDER In this action to confirm an arbitration award, Defendant defaulted (Doc. 9) and Plaintiff moved for a default judgment (Doc. 12 (“Motion”)). On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Embry J. Kidd entered a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 13 (“R&R”)) submitting that the Court should grant the Motion. The time has passed and there were no objections, so the Court examines the R&R for clear error only. See Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, it is due to be adopted in its entirety.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 1. The R&R (Doc. 13) is ADOPTED AND CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order in its entirety.

2. The Motion (Doc. 12) is GRANTED.

3. The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter a final default judgment in favor of Plaintiff America Steel Trade Corporation and against Defendant Metalhouse, LLC as follows: a. $747,150.00 in damages; b.
