1

In its papers, plaintiff requests entry of a default judgment pursuant to Rule 55(b)(1) – which 

allows for entry of a default judgment by the clerk of the court – but repeatedly asks that “the 

Court” enter the judgment. I construe the motion as one for entry of a default judgment “by the 

Court” pursuant to Rule 55(b)(2).
