Progressive Direct Insurance Company v. Kelly

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS DELTA DIVISION

PROGRESSIVE DIRECT INSURANCE COMPANY PLAINTIFF

v. No. 2:22-cv-112-DPM

ASHA KELLY; JOSEPH WALKER; ASHLEY KELLY; VALERIE KELLY; RON KELLY; WILLIE MCCOY; LEENA HOLLINS; TINA ROBERTSON; and BRUCE KELLY DEFENDANTS

ORDER Progressive’s motion for default judgment, Doc. 48, is granted. See the Court’s earlier Order, Doc. 31, for the facts. There was good service on all defendants. Doc. 52. And the Clerk has entered defaults. Doc. 24, 25, 27, 44, 45, 53,54 & 55. The defendants have conceded the facts by not responding: They staged or planned the 7 August 2021 auto collision, so Progressive owes them no duties or coverage under the auto policy. Because Progressive only seeks a declaratory judgment, no hearing on damages is needed. Stephenson v. El-Batrawt, 524 F.3d 907, 915 (8th Cir. 2008).

So Ordered.
