United States District Court

On April 13, 2015, the United States of America, represented by attorney Michael

14

Cosentino, filed this civil action seeking to collect on a student loan debt allegedly owed by

15

Defendant Ethan Rose. (Dkt. No. 1.) Although the government contends that Mr. Rose was

16

served with a copy of the summons and complaint on April 18, 2015, it has not filed a proof of

17

service to this effect. Nonetheless, the government has filed a status report indicating that Mr.

18

Rose forwarded counsel for the government a copy of the completed form consenting to the

19

jurisdiction of a magistrate judge. (Dkt. No. 4.) Mr. Rose, however, has not filed anything with

20

the court responding to the complaint.

21

Accordingly, the government shall file proof of service of the summons and complaint by

22

June 18, 2015. The government shall also serve the defendant with a copy of this order and file

23

proof of service within three days. Mr. Rose has until July 11, 2015 to answer or otherwise

24

respond to the complaint. Mr. Rose must file things with the court if he intends to defend

25

against the government’s claims. If he fails to do so, the government may seek default in which

26

case a judgment could be entered against Mr. Rose for the full amount sought. Mr. Rose is

27

advised that as he is proceeding pro se, he may contact the Legal Help Center, 450 Golden Gate

28

Avenue, 15th Floor, Room 2796, Telephone No. (415)-782-8982, for free assistance regarding his

1

claims.
