Obie Crisp, III (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis
15
in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 27, 2016, the Court screened
16
Plaintiff’s Third Amended Complaint, found a cognizable claim against defendant J. Cleveland,
17
and ordered that certain documents be sent to Plaintiff so that the Complaint could be served.
18
(ECF No. 36). Plaintiff submitted the necessary documents to the Court on July 26, 2016 (ECF
19
No. 37), and on July 29, 2016, the Court ordered the United States Marshal Service to serve the
20
Third Amended Complaint (ECF No. 38). On September 16, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for
21
default judgment (ECF No. 39), as well as a motion to lodge records in support of the motion
22
for default judgment (ECF No. 40).
23
Both the motion for default judgment and the motion to lodge records in support of the
24
motion for default judgment will be denied. Defendant J. Cleveland (the only remaining
25
defendant in this case) has not yet defaulted. Defendant J. Cleveland only recently returned the
26
Waiver of Service of Summons, and he has 60 days from September 19, 2016, to file an answer
27
or a motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12. (ECF No. 41).
28
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment is denied
