RIDGEWAY SUPERIOR COURT
FOR THE COUNTY OF RIDGEWAY
ROBERTSEVIGNE
,
Plaintiff, pro-se
v.
RIDGEWAY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT
,
Defendant
Civil Action No. RSC-CV-0813
MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Plaintiff moves this Court to enter default judgment in Plaintiff’s favour against Defendant Ridgeway
Department of Transportation.
ARGUMENT
Defendant has failed to timely respond to the Civil Complaint within the period required by the
Ridgeway Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff filed the Complaint on August 14th, 2025, and Defendant
was duly served with process. Pursuant to Rid. R. Civ. P. 12, Defendant was obligated to file a
responsive pleading within seven (7) days of service.
Defendant failed to answer or otherwise plead within the time required. Instead, Defendant delayed and
sought dismissal without addressing the merits of Plaintiff’s constitutional claims. Courts have held that
failure to comply with filing deadlines justifies the entry of default judgment. See
Hovey v. Elliott, 167
U.S. 409, 414 (1897) (default judgment proper where party refuses to plead or defend);
United States v.
$23,000 in U.S. Currency, 356 F.3d 157, 163 (1st Cir. 2004) (default appropriate where defendant fails
to timely respond).
Defendant’s conduct constitutes wilful neglect of its obligations and has prejudiced Plaintiff by delaying
the vindication of his rights under
Rid. Const. art. I, § 5.
CONCLUSION
For these reasons, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court enter default judgment against
Defendant pursuant to Rid. R. Civ. P. 37, granting the following relief:
• Declaring Defendant liable for all causes of action in the Complaint;
• Any further relief this Court finds equitable.
Dated: September 12th, 2025
Respectfully submitted,
