Case 1:25-cv-00927-KMN       Document 81         Filed 09/10/26   Page 1 of 4


                IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
              FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA

 ASHER BRONSTIN, individually and
 on behalf of all other similarly situated,

 Plaintiff,
                                                  Civil Action No. 1:25-cv-00927-KMN
 v.                                               (Hon. Keli M. Neary)

 VIASAT, INC.
 and
 THE PREFERRED PREPAID, INC.
 d/b/a XYZies

 Defendants.

            REQUEST FOR CLERK’S ENTRY OF DEFAULT
         AGAINST DEFENDANT THE PREFERRED PREPAID, INC.

       COMES NOW Plaintiff Asher Bronstin, by and through the undersigned

counsel, pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 55(a), and hereby files this Motion for Clerk’s

Entry of Default against Defendant The Preferred Prepaid, Inc. d/b/a XYZies, in

the above-styled action. Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Clerk of Court enter

default as the Defendant has failed to serve or file an answer to Plaintiff’s claims in

this action within the time permitted by law or otherwise.

       Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(a), entitled “Time to Serve a Responsive

Pleading,” provides in pertinent part that “[a] defendant must serve an answer

within 21 days after being served with the summons and complaint.” FED. R. CIV.

P. 12(a)(1)(A)(i). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a), entitled “Entering a

Request for Entry of Default
                                              1


         Case 1:25-cv-00927-KMN     Document 81     Filed 09/10/26   Page 2 of 4


Default,” provides that “[w]hen a party against whom a judgment for affirmative

relief is sought has failed to plead or otherwise defend, and that failure is shown by

affidavit or otherwise, the clerk must enter the party’s default.” FED. R. CIV. P.

55(a) (emphasis added).

         Here, the Plaintiff filed his Second Amended Complaint naming Defendant

on June 11, 2026. (See ECF No. 70.) Defendant was served on June 29, 2026. (See

ECF No. 80.) Through order of the Court, Defendant’s time to file a responsive

pleading was extended to August 12, 2026. (See ECF No. 77.) Defendant did not

file a response as of September 10, 2026. Previously, Plaintiff’s counsel had

received email correspondence from Joe Samo of the Samo Law Group, who stated

that they were retained. However, Mr. Samo has not entered his appearance. No

alternative counsel has appeared for Defendant, and it is well established that, as a

corporation, Defendant may not represent itself pro se. Accordingly, the Plaintiff

requests that the Clerk enter the Defendant’s default pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P.

55(a).

         The Plaintiff intends to move for leave to conduct classwide discovery and

seek a classwide default judgment as to Defendant.

                                 CONCLUSION

P. 55(a).

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED AND DATED this September 10, 2026.
