`
`DEFAULT JUDGMENT
`
`Before the Court is the Motion for Default Judgment filed by Plaintiff, John Stephenson.
`
`On October 29, 2009, Plaintiff filed his Complaint in the above styled matter alleging patent
`
`infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,174,237 and seeking damages and injunctive relief. On
`
`February 10, 2010, service of process was had on the Defendants. The Defendants, however,
`
`failed to answer, plead or otherwise defend against this action. On September 7, 2010, the Clerk
`
`of the Court entered an Entry of Default against the Defendants in accordance with Fed. R. Civ.
`
`P 55(a) and Local Rule 55.1(a). The Plaintiff now seeks an entry of default judgment against the
`
`Defendants pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P 55(b) and Local Rule 55.1(b).
`
`The Court, having reviewed the pleadings and relevant legal authority, and being fully
`
`advised, finds that default judgment should be entered against the Defendants because they
`
`failed to answer, plead or otherwise defend in this proceeding and is in default under Federal
`
`Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a). The Motion for Default Judgment (Docs. 10 and 12) are
`
`GRANTED.
