Clerk Enters Default vs. 2 Defendants in EBS Spectrum Case Brought by T-Mobile

The clerk of the U.S. District Court for Central California in Los Angeles, honoring T-Mobile’s Oct. 20 request, entered a default against defendants Ashok Vasudevan and his company, SCH, for failing to answer or otherwise respond to T-Mobile’s complaint by the Oct. 19 deadline, said a signed clerk’s notice Tuesday (docket 2:23-cv-04347). T-Mobile and seven of its subsidiaries allege Vasudevan and SCH helped finance a “nationwide criminal scheme” to defraud T-Mobile and the subsidiaries out of more than $10 million for the educational broadband service wireless spectrum licenses in the 2.5-GHz band that T-Mobile leases from schools to build its nationwide cellular and data network (see 2306030002).
