ENTRY Awarding Damages and Directing Entry of Final Judgment - Having previously issued a default judgment as to liability against defendants Cooke and Aydt, and based on a consideration of these injuries, which are undisputed by the defendants, a nd which the Court finds to be sufficient and specific to allow the Court to reach an award, the Court now finds that Jackson is entitled to compensatory damages against Cooke and Aydt, and each of them, in the amount of $35,000. This is the only relief to which the Court finds Jackson to be entitled. Final Judgment consistent with this Entry and with the default issued on May 12, 2016, shall now issue. Jackson is awarded his costs. **SEE ORDER** Copy to Defendants via U.S. Mail. Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 9/12/2016.(JLS) Modified on 9/12/2016 (JLS).

Entry Granting Motions for Entry of Default and Directing Further Proceedings - Accordingly, the plaintiff's Requests for an Entry of Default [dkt 122 and 129] are granted to the extent that the clerk shall issue an entry of default against A ydt consistent with Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Cooke has not responded to the plaintiff's motion to strike or the Court's Entry directing him to show cause why his answer should not be stricken. Accordingly, the plaintiff's motion to strike Cooke's answer [dkt 125] is granted. The clerk shall issue an entry of default against Cooke consistent with Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. When default has been entered pursuant to Rule 55(a), unless the damages are certain, the Court must determine the amount of damages that are appropriate. The plaintiff shall have through June 15, 2016, in which to provide evidence of the damages he alleges that defendants Cooke and Aydt are r esponsible for. Cooke and Aydt will have twenty-one days in which to respond as to the amount of damages alleged. The Court will then conduct whatever further proceedings are necessary. Copy to Parties via U.S. Mail. Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 5/12/2016. (JLS)

ORDER denying 76 Motion for Leave to Appeal in forma pauperis (USCA #14-3592). There has been no final or partial final judgment in this action. While the Court has granted summary judgment with respect to Defendants Renfro and Lundy, (Dkt. N o. 59) no partial final judgment was issued and claims against the remaining defendants are still pending. Accordingly, his appeal is not taken in good faith, and for this reason his request for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis [dkt 76] is denied. Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 2/20/2015. (AH)
