183173P.pdf   12/05/2019  Austin Glick  v.  Western Power Sports, Inc
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3173
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Products liability. Plaintiff's complaint failed to provide 
   sufficient facts to state a claim and the district court did not err in 
   dismissing it pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6); even though entry of a default 
   against Western would have been proper because it failed to respond to the 
   complaint in a timely manner, a court must not enter a default judgment 
   without first determining whether the unchallenged facts in the complaint 
   constitute a legitimate cause of action and, here, the facts did not, and 
   the district court did not err in denying plaintiff's motion for a 
   default.
