Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A plaintiff initiates a lawsuit in federal court for property damage, but the defendant does not respond within the timeframe established by the FRCP. What steps should the plaintiff take to secure a judgment in light of the defendant’s failure to respond?

  • Proceed to trial and do not address the defendant's lack of participation.

  • File a notice with the court about the defendant's non-response and request a decision based on the complaint.

  • Request the court to dismiss the case due to the defendant’s inaction.

  • Wait for the court to rule in favor of the plaintiff without taking additional steps.
