Richman v. 1720 Entertainment LLC et al

Doc. 7

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
JONESBORO DIVISION
JOSEPH RICHMAN v. Case No. 3:10-cv-256-DPM PLAINTIFF

1720 ENTERTAINMENT LLC; DOE COMPANIES; and JOHN DOE INDIVIDUALS 1-10 ORDER

DEFENDANTS

The motion for a default ju4gment, Document No.3, is denied without prejudice. The adequacy of service is ambiguous: the signature on the green card is illegible; the "Printed Name" line-which would confirm who the process was received by - is blank; and neither the" Agent" nor" Addressee" box is checked. Plaintiffs must turn square corners in serving process, especially where a default judgment is in prospect. The Court vacates the Clerk's Default, Document No.6, for good cause.
FED.

R. ClV. P. 55(c).

Plaintiff's time to serve the suit is reopened until 31 May 2011. So Ordered.
