United States v. Rainbow

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Jacksonville Division

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA            

           v.              CIVIL ACTION    Case Number 96- 183

THE RAINBOW FAMILY, et al.

OPPOSITION OF PROPOSED INTERVENOR WILLIAM THOMAS
TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

Plaintiff, the United States of America, by and through the United States Attorney, Middle District of Florida, has moved to dismiss, without prejudice, the above-captioned matter with respect to those defendants who have submitted answers to the complaint.

In addition, plaintiff has moved for a default judgment against those defendants who have been served and have failed to file a responsive pleading to the complaint within the prescribed time period.

Proposed Intervenor agrees that the court would be perfectly correct to dismiss this case, but suggests that such dismissal should be complete and with prejudice.

For the reasons more fully set forth in the accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities, Proposed Intervenor opposes Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment on the grounds that it makes no provision for the provisions of Rule 23, elementary mathematics, simple common sense, or the concept of due process.

Respectfully submitted this 6th day of June, 1996,
