Default judgment is only permissible where a party has 
failed to plead or otherwise defend, and where such party is not 
a member of the military of the United States, or an 
unrepresented minor or incompetent person. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 
55; 50 App. U.S.C. § 521 (protection of servicemembers against 
default judgments). 
The premises considered, it is hereby 
ORDERED that the Trust’s motion for default judgment is 
DENIED; and it is further 
ORDERED that the Trust’s motions for a hearing on the 
motion for default judgment are MOOT.
