Analytical Summary
This affidavit, executed by plaintiff's counsel Mark H. Kane on April 29, 2025, supports a motion for entry of default in a Colorado federal district court case. The document establishes that defendant Cyberlux Corporation was properly served on March 14, 2025, following complaint filing on March 12, 2025, and failed to respond by the April 4, 2025 deadline. The affidavit provides sworn testimony of procedural compliance and defendant's non-response, supporting plaintiff Thin Air Gear, LLC's request for clerk's entry of default. This represents a critical procedural milestone enabling the plaintiff to potentially obtain default judgment without contested litigation.
Key Points
  • Defendant Cyberlux Corporation was served with summons and complaint on March 14, 2025
  • Answer was due April 4, 2025, but defendant failed to appear or respond
  • Plaintiff Thin Air Gear, LLC seeks clerk's entry of default against defendant
  • Affidavit sworn by plaintiff's attorney Mark H. Kane on April 29, 2025
