On December 14, 2015, Plaintiff Rebecca L. Bond moved to enter a default

18

judgment against Defendants OneWest Bank FSB and Ocwen Loan Serving.

However, Plaintiff did not previously request an entry of default against these

20

Defendants. An entry of default must precede a grant of default judgment. Johnson v.

Dayton Elec. Mfg. Co., 140 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1998). Moreover, Defendants

22

have responded to the Complaint, and are therefore not in default. (ECF No. 8.)
