`
`
`
`5. Accordingly, EEL’s response to the Amended Complaint, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
`
`15(a)(3), was due no later than July 26, 2016.
`
`6. EEL failed to file a response to the Amended Complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
`
`12, and therefore default was entered by the Clerk of the United States District Court, Middle
`
`District of Florida, Orlando Division, on July 28, 2016, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). (DKT.
`
`16).

`7. Because due and legal service of process has been served upon and/or waived by
`
`EEL, this Court has jurisdiction of the parties in this cause and its subject matter. The allegations
`
`contained in the Complaint have been proved by competent evidence, the equities in this cause are
`
`with Plaintiff, and Plaintiff is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.
`
`8. EEL is not an infant, incompetent person, or in the military service of the United
`
`States.
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Lighting Science Group Corporation requests entry of Final
