Document Summary
Affidavit in Support of Default
This summary note is machine-generated. Always consult the original materials.

This document comprises an Affidavit in Support of Default filed on behalf of the plaintiff before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The affidavit, submitted by plaintiff's counsel, formally requests the Clerk of the Court to enter a default against the defendants, the Republic of South Sudan and the Bank of South Sudan, due to their failure to appear or file a responsive pleading within the statutorily prescribed timeframe.

In support of the application, counsel certifies under penalty of perjury that the defendants were properly served with process outside the District of Columbia pursuant to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA), specifically invoking 28 U.S.C. §§ 1330(b) and 1608(a)(3) as the basis for personal jurisdiction. The affidavit further attests that no extension of time has been granted, the time for filing has expired, and the defendants are neither infants nor incompetent persons, thereby satisfying the procedural prerequisites for the entry of default under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
