ORDER:

(1) GRANTING PLAINTIFFS-IN-LIMITATION'S APPLICATION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT [Doc. 27]

(2) GRANTING JOINT MOTION FOR DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE OF CLAIMANT HANOVER INSURANCE COMPANY'S CLAIM [Doc. 30]

Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs-in-Limitation's Application for Default Judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b)(2) [doc. 27] and a Joint Motion for Dismissal with Prejudice of Claimant Hanover Insurance Company's Claim pursuant to Rule 41 [doc. 30].

Plaintiffs-in-Limitation have demonstrated compliance with Rule F of the Supplement Rules for Admiralty and Maritime Claims. See Doc. 27-1. In light of their compliance with the notice requirements set forth in Rule F of the Supplement Rules and this Court's orders, Plaintiffs-in-Limitation are entitled to default judgment against any potential claimant who failed to timely respond to their public notices over four (4) weeks. See Matter of Duley, 2017 WL 8180609, at *2 (C.D. Cal. July 11, 2017). As such the Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiffs-in-Limitation's Application for Default Judgment [doc. 27].

Also, having read and considered the parties' Joint Motion for Dismissal With Prejudice of Claimant Hanover Insurance Company's Claim, good cause exists such that the parties' Joint Motion [doc. 30] is GRANTED as follows:

The claim filed by Claimant, HANOVER INSURANCE COMPANY, against Plaintiffs-in-Limitation, MARTIN LEE FINNEY and DIANE OWENS, on or about November 4, 2019 [doc. 14], is hereby dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, with each party to bear their own costs and fees.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
