THOMAS RICH MCINNIS, et al., Defendants. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Case No.: 10-CV-01614-LHK ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR AN ORDER VACATING THE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE Plaintiff filed an ex parte application for an order vacating the Case Management Conference in this action, currently set for Wednesday, December 15, 2010 at 2:00 P.M. Plaintiff claims that this request is necessitated by the fact that Plaintiff will soon be filing an application for default judgment. Plaintiff is correct that the clerk entered default as to defendants Thomas McInnis and Sarah Unger. See Dkt. Nos. 19, 28. Defendant McInnis, however, timely filed his answer with the clerk of this court. See Dkt. No. 29. For unknown reasons, the answer was not entered on ECF until after the entry of default. Thus, default against Defendant McInnis appears to have been entered in error. Until this error is addressed, the Court will not entertain a motion for default judgment against Defendant McInnis. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 United States District Court For the Northern District of California 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Therefore, Plaintiff's motion is DENIED.
