U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit

Crowe v. Gee

September 1, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of default judgment and the dismissal of the amended complaint. It held that the defendants' response deadline was measured from the later service on the United States Attorney, that the district court properly extended the response period, and that the defendants timely filed a motion to dismiss. The court also held that Crowe abandoned his challenges to the dismissal and reconsideration orders by failing to meaningfully present them on appeal.
