CIVIL NO. 09-510-GPM

ORDER
MURPHY, District Judge: Plaintiff, Atrella Reynolds, believes she is entitled to a default judgment against each defendant because they were served on July 13, 2009, and their response was due August 3, 2009. Reynolds has not filed a return of service, so the Court has no way of knowing the exact date (or manner) of service. Nonetheless, Defendants have appeared through counsel and asked for more time to answer, and, on August 7, 2009, the Court extended the deadline for Defendants' response to August 26, 2009 (see Docs. 3, 4). For this reason, Defendants are not in default. The motion for default judgment (Doc. 5) is DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: 8/24/09 s/ ZA ctàÜ|v~ `âÜÑ{ç G. Patrick Murphy United States District Judge
