CROSS-DEFENDANTS ORDER
DWBI’s status report, Doc. 83 , appreciated. DWBI is essentially asking for a default judgment against the Gary firm. But the Gary firm is similarly situated to the other defendants in this case and granting DWBI’s requested relief creates the possibility of inconsistent
Case 4:23-cv-01192-DPM Document 91 Filed 06/05/24 Page 2 of 2 judgments. Angelo Iafrate Construction, Inc. v. Postashnick Construction, Inc. , 370 F.3d 715, 722 (8th Cir. 2004). The Court declines to enter judgment against the Gary firm, or address priority, at this point. DWBI, though, may pursue discovery as planned about who got what. The other issues will abide further development of the case.
So Ordered.
