June 27, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 46 PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Defendant E.D. Bullard Company's Motion to Set Aside Clerk's Default (DE #36 ) ("Motion"). In the Motion, it is requested that the Court set aside the Clerk's Entry of Default (DE #35 ) as to Defendant E.D. Bullard Company. There is "a strong preference that cases be heard on the merits" in the Eleventh Circuit which weighs toward setting aside a clerk's entry of default. See Perez v. Wells Fargo N.A., 774 F.3d 1329, 1342 (11th Cir. 2014). Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(c), a "court may set aside an entry of default for good cause." To determine whether there is good cause to set aside default, courts generally consider "whether the default was culpable or willful, whether setting it aside would prejudice the adversary, and whether the defaulting party presents a meritorious defense." Compania Interamericana Export-Import, S.A. v. Compania Dominicana de Aviacion, 88 F.3d 948, 952 (11th Cir. 1996). Upon review of the Motion, which is unopposed, the record, and applicable law, the Court finds good cause to set aside the Clerk's Entry of Default (DE #35 ) as to Defendant E.D. Bullard Company. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion (DE #36 ) is GRANTED. The Clerk's Entry of Default (DE #35 ) as to Defendant E.D. Bullard Company is SET ASIDE. Defendant E.D. Bullard Company must follow and comply with the dates and deadlines set forth in the Court's Scheduling Order (DE #12 ) and must be available to attend the mediation conference as set forth in the Amended Joint Notice of Mediation (DE #27 ).

May 19, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 34 PAPERLESS ORDER Directing Clerk to Enter Default. On May 9, 2023, Plaintiff filed proof of service on Defendants Icynene Corp. and E.D. Bullard Company (DE #29 ; DE #28 ), alleging service on April 21, 2023. On May 16, 2023, observing Defendants Icynene Corp. and E.D. Bullard Company had not filed a responsive pleading to the Complaint, the Court ordered the Defendants to show cause (DE 32) on or before May 18, 2023 why defualt should not be entered against them. To date, Defendants Icynene Corp. and E.D. Bullard Company have not appeared or filed a responsive pleading to the Complaint or the Court's order to show cause, and pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12, the time to respond to the Complaint has passed. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide that the Clerk must enter default against a defendant who has failed to plead or otherwise defend. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Clerk is directed to ENTER DEFAULT against Defendants Icynene Corp. and E.D. Bullard Company.On or before June 19, 2023, Plaintiff shall file a motion for final default judgment against Defendants Icynene Corp. and E.D. Bullard Company and serve it in accordance with Rule 55(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

The motion shall also reference specific legal authority establishing Plaintiff's entitlement to the relief sought and demonstrating that service was proper on Defendants Icynene Corp. and E.D. Bullard Company. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams on 5/19/2023. (nlf)
May 16, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 32 PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte. On March 2, 2023, Defendant Graco, Inc. filed an Answer to the Second Amended Complaint. (DE #5 .) The docket text for the Answer states that the Answer is on behalf of Defendant Graco, Inc., and Defendants Icynene Corp. and E.D. Bullard Company, all of which share defense counsel. However, the Answer appears to be solely on behalf of Defendant Graco, Inc., which states in its Notice of Removal (DE #1 ) that no other Defendant had been served at the time of removal. Moreover, on May 9, 2023, Plaintiff docketed summons returned executed on Defendants Icynene Corp. and E.D. Bullard Company (DE #29 ; DE #28 ), indicating that their answers to the Second Amended Complaint were due on or before May 12, 2023. Accordingly, Defendants Icynene Corp. and E.D. Bullard Company are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before May 18, 2023 why default should not be entered against them for failure to timely serve a responsive pleading. Defendants Icynene Corp. and E.D.

On or before April 19, 2023, the Parties shall jointly file a notice on the docket, stating: (1) whether James Munsey is certified as a mediator in the Southern District of Florida; (2) if James Munsey is certified, why their name does not appear on the Certified Mediator List; and (3) if they are not certified, why the Parties selected an uncertified mediator without first seeking leave of Court to do so, in violation of Court order.If James Munsey is not certified as a mediator in the Southern District of Florida, but the Parties nonetheless intend for James Munsey to serve as the Mediator in this matter, they should style the notice as a motion for leave of Court to select an uncertified mediator setting forth the time, place, and date of mediation, and attach as an exhibit documentation that establishes James Munsey's qualifications to serve as the Mediator in this matter (e.g., a CV or resume). Moving forward, it is imperative that the Parties fully comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules for the Southern District of Florida, the Court's Practices and Procedures, and all Court orders.
