Document Summary
Default Judgment of the US District and Bankruptcy Courts for the District of Columbia
This summary note is machine-generated. Always consult the original materials.

This document is an Entry of Default issued by the Clerk of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in the matter between Qatar National Bank and the Republic of South Sudan (Case No. 25-cv-01870-TJK). The procedural posture reflects a standard application under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a) following the sovereign defendant's failure to respond to the operative complaint.

The procedural record indicates that the Republic of South Sudan was duly served with a summons and a copy of the complaint on August 13, 2025. Despite this formal service of process, the defendant failed to plead or otherwise defend the action within the statutorily prescribed period. Consequently, upon the filing of a supporting affidavit on behalf of the plaintiff, the Clerk of Court formally declared the Republic of South Sudan to be in default on November 14, 2025. This procedural ruling establishes the defendant's default on the judicial record, thereby satisfying the prerequisite for the plaintiff to subsequently move for a default judgment.
