Goodman v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Brian J. Goodman, Sr.
v.
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
Case No. 17-cv-199-JL
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the plaintiff’s motion for default (Doc.
No. 10), the defendant’s objection (Doc. No. 13), and the
plaintiff’s reply (Doc. No. 17), the undersigned recommends the
court decline to enter default against the defendant.
Specifically, notwithstanding whether service was proper or what
date the defendant is deemed to have been served, good cause
exists to allow the defendant to appear and defend. See Indigo
America, Inc. v. Big Impressions, LLC, 597 F.3d 1 (1st Cir.
2010); Coon v. Grenier, 867 F.2d 73 (1st Cir. 1989).
Any objections to this Report and Recommendation must be
filed within fourteen (14) days of receipt of this notice. 	See
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). 	Failure to file objections within the
specified time waives the right to appeal the district court’s
order. 	See Garayalde-Rijos v. Mun. of Carolina, 747 F.3d 15,
21-22 (1st Cir. 2014).
SO ORDERED.
