Defendants.
RSC-CV-1373
MEMORANDUM FOR NIL DICIT
DEFAULT JUDGMENT
Presiding Judge: Arthur_Chen
Plaintiff thr33six8 has moved for nil dicit default judgment pursuant to Rule 37(a) of the
Ridgeway Rules of Civil Procedure. Defendant objects to this, stating that he did not have
"proper representation to respond to the complaint".
REASONS TO GRANT MOTION
Defendant has had sufficient time to plead
` The defendant has been able to plead since this case was transferred from Ridgemade,
which was at 2026-03-28 04:24:00.000 UTC. The end of pre-trial proceedings was ordered to be
on 2026-04-04 04:24:00.000 UTC, and that leaves Defendant with a week to plead, the default
amount of time for pre-trial proceedings pursuant to Rule 7(a) of Ridgeway's rules of civil
procedure.
Defendant has failed to produce motion to dismiss
On 2026-03-03 06:04:26.782, Defendant's counsel, said that she intended to file a motion
to dismiss within the deadline. Defendant has not filed a motion to dismiss within the deadline,
so Defendant has failed to produce their motion to dismiss.
Defendant has always been able to plead and prepare
As stated beforehand, Defendant has had the regular amount of time to plead.
Additionally, Defendant has been able to see Plaintiff's pleadings as well as motions. So,
Defendant could have chosen to use the regular amount of pre-trial proceeding time to
communicate with his representation about how they should proceed with pleading as well as
which affirmative defenses to raise. Within one week, which is the standard amount of time for
pre-trial proceedings, Defendant's counsel could have simply written the pleadings,
accompanying motions, and other filings. Defendant himself could file said document(s) or let
counsel file it on his behalf on the website. So, that default should not be granted since
Defendant has been left without representation is not a valid excuse for failing to plead.
Defendant has failed to file anything
Defendant has not filed any document during pre-trial proceedings. Defendant's counsel
has not even filed any notice of appearances.
CONCLUSION
Default judgment should be granted regardless of Defendant's proposed "shortcoming" in
representation. Defendant has had the fair amount of time to prepare to write his pleadings and
file them, but Defendant's counsel has not even filed a notice of appearance. This is a clear case
of the Department of Justice, which is representing Defendant, missing a default deadline. So,
should Defendant be given leniency here despite the fact that Defendant has had the regular
amount of time to plead, which is one week? I think not. Defendant and his counsel ought to
know better when it comes to being punctual and prepared before this court, like Plaintiff.
