Washington Metro. Area Transit Comm'n v. Reliable Limousine Serv., No. 13-7072 (D.C. Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseWMATC filed suit against Paul Rodberg and his company, seeking an injunction to shut down Rodberg's illegal limousine operation. After the district court entered a default judgment, Rodberg ignored the default judgment and continued operating his limousine business under a different name. The district court issued another order enjoining all of Rodberg's companies from transporting passengers without a license. Rodberg appealed the default judgment and order. The court affirmed the default judgment where the district court did not abuse its discretion when it entered default judgment against Rodberg as a sanction for his total discovery lapse. The court concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the subsequent order where the order did not modify the previous injunction because Rodberg's company was already bound by the earlier order as a matter of law. Accordingly, the court affirmed in Case No. 13-7072 and dismissed in Case No. 13-7161.
