Case No. 1:16-cv-01584-AWI-SAB (PC)
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR
ENTRY OF DEFAULT JUDGMENT
[ECF No. 31]

Plaintiff John Wesley Williams is appearing pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 1983.
Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for entry of default, filed January 12, 2018.

20

Plaintiff seeks entry of default judgment against Defendants for their alleged failure file a responsive

21

pleading within thirty days of the denial of the vexatious litigant motion.

22

On October 27, 2017, the Court granted Defendants’ request to stay the responsive pleading

23

deadline and granted Defendants thirty days after the final ruling on their vexatious litigant motion to

24

file a responsive pleading.

25

On November 30, 2017, the undersigned issued Findings and Recommendations

26

recommending to the district judge that Defendants’ motion to declare Plaintiff a vexatious litigant be

27

denied. (ECF No. 30.) The Findings and Recommendations are not a final order unless and until the

28

district judge assigned to this action adopts the recommendations in full. As of today’ date, no final
1

1

ruling on the pending Findings and Recommendations has been issued. Accordingly, the time period

2

for Defendants to file a further response has not yet began, and Plaintiff’s motion for entry of default

3

judgment is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
