Case No. 14-cv-01027-JPG-DGW

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on the Plaintiff Seyon Haywood's Motion to Compel
Rulings and Waiver of Service and Request for Default Judgment (Doc. 42). Defendants did not
file a response.
Plaintiff's Motion contains two parts. The first is to compel rulings as plaintiff states that
he has not received any documents from the Court pertaining to his Complaint, amended
complaint, motion of compliance, waiver of service for Director S.A. Godinez, waiver of service
from Susan Griswold-Bailey, and petition for class-action certification (amended petition).
As a one-time courtesy, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to send the Plaintiff a copy of
the case docket sheet. Upon review of the docket sheet, the Plaintiff may purchase copies of
court filings from the Clerk's office for $0.50 per page.
The second portion of the Plaintiff's Motion requests a default judgment with regard to
Defendant S. A. Godinez. A waiver of service was returned executed by S. A. Godinez and his
answer is due March 2, 2015. As such, S. A. Godinez is not in default. The Court would also
note that in order to obtain a default judgment, a default order must first be entered.

Based on the foregoing, the Plaintiff Seyon Haywood's Motion to Compel Rulings is
GRANTED and Waiver of Service and Request for Default Judgment (Doc. 42) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: 2/5/2015
