Introduction

On January 31, 2008, Plaintiff filed a document entitled “Motion to Set for Hearing Doc.

No. 80, 77, 78 and 49.” (Document 94.) Plaintiff moves this Court to set a hearing on the

aforementioned docket numbers for February 15, 2008. The Court construes Plaintiff’s motion

as a request to set a hearing on his “2 Amended Motion for Entry of Default and Default nd

Judgment by Court.” (Document 49.) For the reason set forth below, the Court hereby DENIES

Plaintiff’s Motion to Set for Hearing. (Document 49.)

Plaintiff’s “2 Amended Motion for Entry of Default and Default Judgment by Court,” which nd

appear to be documents in support of Plaintiff’s 2 Amended Motion for Entry of Default and nd

Default Judgment by Court. Docket entry 80 is a document entitled “Plaintiff’s Request for

Ruling on Offer of Evidence” and seeks a ruling on Plaintiff’s offer of evidence in support of his

motion for entry of default and default judgment against UBS AG (document 49). Docket entry

77 is Plaintiff’s “Offer of Evidence with Annex “A” Affidavit of Authentication” and docket

entry 78 is “Plaintiff’s Affidavit Autenticating [sic] His Exhibits, Annex “A” to Offer of

Evidence.”

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55, an order of default judgment may be

entered only against a defendant who has been defaulted for not appearing. In this instance, there

has been no entry of default against Defendant UBS AG by the Clerk of the Court pursuant to

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a). Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment is

not appropriate for hearing at this time. 

Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff’s Motion to Set For Hearing Doc. No. 80, 77, 78 and 49

is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
