Third Amended Complaint (ECF No. 38). On September 16, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for 

default judgment (ECF No. 39), as well as a motion to lodge records in support of the motion 

for default judgment (ECF No. 40). On October 5, 2016, the Court denied both of those 

motions. (ECF No. 42). On October 6, 2016, Plaintiff filed another motion for default 

judgment and another motion to lodge records in support of the motion for default judgment.
