MOTION FOR CLERK DEFAULT

Plaintiff, [plfName], on this [d] day of [MMM] [YYYY], hereby moves for entry of default by the Clerk against Defendant, [defName], pursuant to Rule 1.500(a) Fla. R. Civ. P..

On [MMMA] [DA], [YYYYA], Plaintiff sued Defendant under state and federal law.

On [MMMB] [DB], [YYYYB], a process server duly served Defendant (please see Exhibit A) (§48.031(6)(a) FS, §48.21(1) FS).

Based on Rule 1.140(a) Fla. R. Civ. P., Defendant had twenty (20) days to file an answer.

Thus, Defendant has failed to file (or serve upon Plaintiff) any answer/pleading/paper as required by law.
