I have an excel file, that has to be modified or answered according to book questions.

When a complaint has been properly served, a Defendant will have a certain amount of time to respond to the complaint, either through the filing of a motion, or a responsive pleading, such as an answer. But what happens when the Defendant fails to respond to the complaint at all? You are a paralegal working for Mr. Dewey Cheatham, Esq., a partner at Cheatham & Fare, One First St, Greenacre, in your home state. The firm has a client, Silence DoGood, who has filed a complaint for negligence stemming from an auto accident, against Nick Slick.Mr. Cheatham has requested you keep an eye on the Court docket, and determine if a Motion for Default Judgment can be filed in this matter. He would like a short Memo, explaining the process for obtaining a default judgment, as well as the method of calculating the length of time before a default can be obtained, based on your state's rules of civil procedure. He would also like a draft of a Motion for Default Judgment and proposed Order for Default Judgment to accompany the memo.Mr. Cheatham is a stickler for spelling, grammar, and properly drafted documents. The drafted documents you provide him should only require his signature, but be otherwise ready to file with the court to request a default judgment. He provided you with a template the law firm uses in these types of cases:The complaint was filed around September 1, 2015. In the complaint, Ms. DoGood requested $50,000 in damages for emotional distress, anxiety, and compensation, after Nick Slick negligently damaged a box of letters Ms. DoGood had been keeping. He was supposed to restore the letters, which were family heirlooms, but ended up burning the letters beyond repair. The case has been pending in Greenacre district court. The Greenacre court issued a summons on September 3, 2015, by certified mail. It was returned having been claimed on October 1, 2015. No answer or other document has been filed by Nick Slick.Mr. Cheatham has advised you that the court sets cases like this for a hearing on damages 21 days after the motion is filed. Therefore, you should enter the potential hearing date in the Default Judgment Entry. Pay careful attention to weekend dates and holidays in calculating the hearing's date. (You should assume the motion is filed the on your assignment's due date).Please be sure to distinguish, for purposes of counting days, the difference between the filing of the complaint, the date the summons was issued, and the date the summons was "claimed."  LIMITING THE WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT.  PLEASE DO NEITHER THE DRAFT MOTION NOR THE DRAFT ORDER, ONLY COUNT THE DAYS PLUS THE SHORT MEMO.

The financial team has been properly selected and charged to proceed with their analysis of EEV's financial statements. In the course of their evaluation, they will be assessing the firm's operating performance, benchmarking their competitors, and looking at the industry using financial ratios as their source of measurement. However, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Electronic Equipment USA agrees with numerous practitioners who promote the use of nonfinancial measures as well as financial measurements to evaluate the performance of a given firm. Nevertheless, Tony agrees that nonfinancial measurements can be valuable, and he tends to support the premise that when evaluating operating performance, benchmarking competitors, and comparing industry results, nonfinancial measurements have little measurable value.
