Davy v. Universal Language Services Inc

THE HONORABLE JOHN C. COUGHENOUR [6] UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT [7] WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON 8 AT SEATTLE 9 CASE NO. C22-1702-JCC LISA M. DAVY, [10] MINUTE ORDER 11 Plaintiff, 12 v. [13] UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE SERVICES, 14 INC., 15 Defendant. [17] This matter comes before the Court on Defendant’s motion for a more definite statement [18] (Dkt. No. 5) and Plaintiff’s motion for “Default Summary Judgment” (Dkt. No. 7). The Court [19] interprets the latter as seeking entry of default and the former as seeking to set aside an entry of [20] default. See, e.g., McMillen v. J.C. Penney Co., Inc., 205 F.R.D. 557, 558 (D. Nev. 2002). But [21] Defendant’s motion lacks any discussion of the Rule 55(c) mitigating circumstances warranting [22] setting aside such an entry. (See generally Dkt. No. 5.) Therefore, the Court requires a [23] supplemental brief from Defendant explaining the mitigating circumstances justifying setting [24] aside an entry of default here. Defendant has until January 25, 2023 to provide the Court with the [25] supplemental brief, which shall not exceed 7 pages. Plaintiff’s response to Defendant’s motion [26] 1 for a more definite statement (Dkt. No. 5), inclusive of Defendant’s supplemental brief, is due 2 February 8, 2023. Defendant’s reply is due February 10, 2023. The Clerk is DIRECTED to 3 renote Docket Numbers 5 and 7 to February 10, 2023. 4 DATED this 10th day of January 2023.
