Overview

• U.S. District Judge Aleta A. Trauger in Tennessee entered a default judgment against Jimmie Allen and his company Aadyn’s Dad Touring after sustained failures to follow court directives.
• The order finds Allen liable on claims tied to an alleged 2022 Las Vegas encounter, including assault, battery, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
• Court filings detail missed discovery deadlines, a skipped deposition, failure to secure new counsel and a nearly $6,000 penalty for canceling mediation at the last minute.
• The ruling authorizes the plaintiff to move for a determination of monetary damages against Allen and his touring company.
• Allen’s new counsel says he denies the allegations, characterizes the judgment as procedural and plans to seek to set it aside so the case can be heard on the merits.
