Davy v. Universal Language Services Inc

THE HONORABLE JOHN C. COUGHENOUR UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON 8 AT SEATTLE 9 CASE NO. C22-1702-JCC LISA M. DAVY, MINUTE ORDER 11 Plaintiff, 12 v. UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE SERVICES, INC., 15 Defendant.

This matter comes before the Court on Defendant’s motion for a more definite statement (Dkt. No. 5) and Plaintiff’s motion for “Default Summary Judgment” (Dkt. No. 7). The Court interprets the latter as seeking entry of default and the former as seeking to set aside an entry of default. See, e.g., McMillen v. J.C. Penney Co., Inc., 205 F.R.D. 557, 558 (D. Nev. 2002). But Defendant’s motion lacks any discussion of the Rule 55(c) mitigating circumstances warranting setting aside such an entry. (See generally Dkt. No. 5.) Therefore, the Court requires a supplemental brief from Defendant explaining the mitigating circumstances justifying setting aside an entry of default here. Defendant has until January 25, 2023 to provide the Court with the supplemental brief, which shall not exceed 7 pages. Plaintiff’s response to Defendant’s motion for a more definite statement (Dkt. No. 5), inclusive of Defendant’s supplemental brief, is due February 8, 2023. Defendant’s reply is due February 10, 2023. The Clerk is DIRECTED to renote Docket Numbers 5 and 7 to February 10, 2023.

4 DATED this 10th day of January 2023.
