On March 10, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion for sanctions in the form of a default judgment against defendants for failing to respond to court orders. Plaintiff's request is denied because court records do not indicate that defendants have yet been served. On April 19, 2010, the court ordered the U.S. Marshal to inform the court within seven days of the status of service. The seven days has passed and the court has still not been updated by the U.S. Marshal as to service. Therefore, the court will once again inquire as to the status of service. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. Plaintiff's motion for sanctions (no. 23) is denied; 1 ORDER MADY CHAN, Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-2006 GGH P IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
