The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Judge for the Western

District of Missouri.

-2-

Randall Brian Jarvis (Jarvis) appeals the district court’s1 order granting the

government a default judgment against him for a permanent injunction. We conclude

that the court did not abuse its discretion. See Forsythe v. Hales, 255 F.3d 487, 490

(8th Cir. 2001) (standard of review). Jarvis failed to respond to the complaint;

thereafter, in violation of court rules, he attempted to submit by facsimile his response

to the government’s motion for a default order, and then did not cure the problem by

submitting a proper filing after the court informed him that his facsimile would not

be accepted; and he did not respond to the court’s two show-cause orders. Jarvis’s

arguments on the merits are thus irrelevant. See Ackra Direct Mktg. Corp. v.

Fingerhut Corp., 86 F.3d 852, 857 (8th Cir. 1996); Brown v. Kenron Aluminum &

Glass Corp., 477 F.2d 526, 531 (8th Cir. 1973).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
