United States v. Scherer

Summary

The United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida partially grants the United States’ request for entry of default in a civil action involving Ronald Earl Scherer and several property-related entities. The Court directs the Clerk to enter default against Scherer but denies without prejudice the request as to two associations because the motion did not establish that service on their registered agent was proper under federal or Florida law.
