rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action proceeds on the following
claims for damages: an Eighth Amendment claim for inadequate medical care against
Defendants Smith, Forster, and Ridge; a constitutional retaliation claim against
Defendant Smith; and a state law negligence claim against Defendants Smith, Forster,

On May 12, 2015, Defendants were ordered to show cause why default should
not be entered against them based on their failure to timely respond to the complaint.
(ECF No. 24.) That same day, Defendants filed their answer. (ECF No. 25.)
