AN entry of default against Forson Holdings (CNMI) LLC was issued by Magistrate Judge Heather Kennedy of the District Court for the NMI, citing its failure to answer the $2.4 million lawsuit filed by a hollow block manufacturing and commercial space rental company.
Unicorn Corp., represented by attorney Charity Hodson, sued Forson Holdings for lease non-payment, among other allegations, and asked the court to issue an order evicting Forson Holdings from Unicorn’s property.
After Forson Holdings failed to respond to the complaint, which was filed on July 1, 2020, Hodson requested an entry of default on March 24, 2021.
On March 26, 2021, the court ruled that the entry of default was moot based on the plaintiff’s failure to mention the defendant’s place of business for the purpose of pleading and proving diversity jurisdiction.
The court then dismissed the complaint but allowed the plaintiff to amend it.
On April 8, 2021, Unicorn Corp. filed its amended complaint against Forson Holdings.
Hodson said the answer to the complaint was due on May 4, 2021, adding that the defendant had failed to answer or otherwise defend itself within the time allowed.
On May 14, 2021 Hodson asked the court to “expeditiously” enter default against the defendant.
According to the original lawsuit, Forson Holdings is believed to be Imperial Pacific International LLC’s sister company. Cai Lingli, a former IPI board member, is the authorized representative of Forson Holdings, the lawsuit stated.
The lawsuit is also requesting the court to issue an order evicting Forson Holdings and all its construction materials and persons from Unicorn’s real estate property.
