REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

TO DENY PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT AS

MOOT

On November 17, 2004, the Honorable Saundra Brown

Armstrong referred plaintiffs’ motion for entry of default

judgment to me for a report and recommendation. I held a

hearing on plaintiffs’ motion on December 15, 2004. At the

hearing, plaintiffs could not explain why the amount of

damages requested in their motion differed from the amount

sought in their complaint, nor could they otherwise prove

their damages. I granted plaintiffs one week to elect

whether they wished to amend and reserve their complaint or

to file supplemental papers in support of their motion.

Plaintiffs chose to amend their complaint, which

effectively 

vacates the entry of default. See William Schwarzer et

al., Federal Civil Procedure Before Trial, ¶¶6:137, 8:390

(2004). I therefore RECOMMEND that their motion for entry

default judgment be denied as moot. 

Dated: January 3, 2005
