Case No. 2:25-cv-02508-JAR-BGS
DEFAULT JUDGMENT ORDER AND JUDGMENT
NOW on this 6th day of January, 2026, this cause comes before the Court on the
motion for default judgment (“Motion for Default Judgment”) filed by Plaintiff LOL
Finance Co. (“LOLFC”) against Defendants Andrew Pucket and Pucket Farms, LLC
(collectively, “Defendants”), as to the causes of actions asserted in LOLFC’s Complaint
(“LOLFC’s Complaint”). LOLFC appears by and through their attorneys of record,
Spencer Fane LLP. Defendants have not appeared, and there are no other appearances.
The Court examines the pleadings and files in the above-entitled cause and finds
that LOLFC served Defendants, and that the method of service is approved by the Court.
Defendants have failed to answer or otherwise respond to LOLFC’s Complaint and,
therefore, Defendants are in default.
WHEREFORE, the Court, being fully advised in the premises, does HEREBY
ORDER, ADJUDGE AND DECREE as follows:
