MCKESSON CORPORATION

v.

BENZER OH 8 LLC

is liable for a default on the note. Centennial Bank v. Vazquez, No. 20-cv-2237, 2021 WL 2815223, at *2 (M.D. Fla. May 5, 2021).

McKesson moved for final default judgments as to each of the Defendants. (Dkts. 25 and 30) In support of its motions seeking final default judgments as to each of the Defendants, McKesson submitted the sworn declaration of Richard Call, which, among other things, establishes: McKesson owns and holds the promissory note for value; (Dkt. 26 at ¶ 29) Defendants' execution and delivery of the note and guaranties to McKesson; (Dkt. 26 at ¶¶ 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 22, 25) the basis for the Defendants' default upon the note and guaranties; (Dkt. 26 at 30, 31) McKesson's right to accelerate the amounts owed to it pursuant to the promissory note; (Dkt. 26 at ¶ 34) McKesson's demand for payment of the amounts owed to it by Defendants; (Dkt. 26 at ¶¶ 32, 34) and the amount of principal and accrued interest owed to McKesson by Defendants pursuant to the promissory note and guaranties and the calculation factor for continued accrued interest. (Dkt. 26 at ¶ 37)

"[A] court can enter a default judgment against a defendant who never appears or answers a complaint, for in such circumstances the case never has been placed at issue." Solaroll Shade & Shutter Corp. v. Bio-Energy Sys., Inc., 803 F. 2d 1130, 1134 (11th Cir. 1986). Here, the complaint sufficiently alleges the existence of a promissory note and a valid agreement to guarantee payment of the note by each of the defendantguarantors. When "arriving at the judgment amount involves nothing more than arithmetic-the making of computations which may be figured from the record-a default judgment can be entered without a hearing of any kind." Directv, Inc. v.
