Committee Comments
After entry of default pursuant to Rule 55(a), a default judgment may be entered by the court in all instances wherein entry of default judgment by the clerk is proper under Rule 55(b)(1) and, in addition thereto, in instances where entry of default judgment by the clerk would be proper but for the uncertainty of the damages or where the default arises from the defendant's failure to otherwise defend after having made an initial appearance. See Rule 55(b)(2).
