1982). THOMPSON VS. KINDRED NURSING CENTERS EAST, LLC 211 F. SUPP. 2D 1345 (MD FLA
2002).
DEFENDANT’S FAILURE TO APPEAR OR DEFEND
Defendant’s Motion are delays and done intentionally. The court is seeing a lot of Defendant’s failure to
appear, Motions to Stay, to Strike, to Dismiss, to Seek Clarification unavailable, and Objections, all without
merits.

Amended Complaint filed on may 5, 2016 as per ordered by the court.

answers. Yet, despite the order of the court Defendant failed to file or respond to the Amended Complaint filed
by Plaintiff.
Page 4of 8CASE NO.: 12-35355-03
Plaintiff is seeking entry of default for Defendant’s failure to answer the Amended Complaint filed and
Defendant subsequently objecting to filed answers. It should be noted for the record that Entry of Default was
entered for Failure to Obey the Ruling of the Court: not Untimely Filing of Answers.
Florida Physicians, Inc. CO V. Ehlers, 8,3d 780, 783, (11 CIRCUIT, 1993)
Defendant had several opportunities to answer and or defend but chose not to. Plaintiff experienced prejudice
and obstruction of justice by Defendant’s Dilatory Tactic preventing the case to be tried on the merits.

amended the Complaint and did not need leave of the court to plead to the untimely filing and did answered
and responded with the Amended Complaint as required to close the pleading , which Defendant failed to file
answers in objection to. Rule 1.140.
