Selig v. Niagara Recovery Solutions Management Group LLC, et al. Doc. 11 Case 3:19-cv-00769-JAG Document 11 Filed 07/27/20 Page 1 of 17 PageID# 184 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Richmond Division PATRICK SELIG, Plaintiff, V. Civil Action No. 3:19-cv-769 NIAGARA RECOVERY SOLUTIONS MANAGEMENT GROUP,LLC,etal., Defendants. OPINION Patrick Selig has sued Niagara Recovery Solutions Management Group, LLC ("Niagara Recovery Solutions"), and NRS Billing Services, LLC, alleging violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act("FDCPA") and Virginia common law.' Selig served the defendants with the summons and complaint in October, 2019. The defendants failed to file responsive pleadings, and Selig moved for entry of default. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a), the Clerk entered default on December 18, 2019. The plaintiff now moves for default judgment under Rule 55(b).^ 'Specifically, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692d(6), 1692e(5), 1692e(7), 1692e(10), 1692e(ll), 1692g, and common law fraud. Selig does not pursue defaultjudgment based on his allegations in Count One, which alleges a violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1692d(2). The Court, therefore, will not consider liability under that Count. ^ Selig has not sent the defendants a copy of the motion for default judgment or memorandum in support because Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5 does not require service on a party who is in default for failing to appear." (See Dk. No. 9, at 2.) Because the defendants are limited liability companies and the record indicates that counsel for the plaintiff has spoken with counsel for the defendants, the Court will not require Selig to serve the defendants with a copy of the motion for default judgment or provide the warnings pursuant to Roseboro v. Garrison, 5 28 F.2d 309, 310 (4th Cir. 1975). But in the future, the Court recommends that counsel for the plaintiff send the defendant a copy ofthe motion for defaultjudgment in all cases.
