DirecTV Seeks Default Against 4 Defendants in Texas Fraud Case

DirecTV asked the U.S. District Court for Eastern Texas in Tyler for an entry of default against four of the defendants for failing to answer its Nov. 1 fraud complaint, said a filing Monday (docket 6:22-cv-00423). “Defendants have failed to file any pleadings or otherwise defend the case,” nor has any appearance been entered “by them or by anyone on their behalf,” said DirecTV. Its complaint named 10 defendants, plus 10 John Does and 10 “XYZ” companies, alleging they and their co-conspirators “are perpetrators of an unlawful scheme to enrich themselves” by impersonating DirecTV telemarketers (see 2211010049).
