Mahoney A former Granite City High School student seeks default judgment against a fellow classmate accused of attacking him in the school gymnasium, arguing that the defendant has failed to enter his appearance nearly two years after the complaint was filed. Plaintiff Austin Gilmore filed a motion for default judgment on June 21 through attorney Ryan Mahoney of Cates Mahoney LLC in Swansea. Mahoney argues that the complaint was filed Aug. 23, 2019, and defendant Tyler Frizzell was served on Sept. 19, 2019. However, he has failed to file an answer or other responsive pleading to the complaint since then. “The time for filing a responsive pleading to plaintiff’s complaint has now expired, and defendant Frizzell has failed to respond within the time allotted by the Illinois Supreme Court Rules,” Mahoney wrote.
