No. 4:16-cv-00947-JAR

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Petitioner Thomas E. Burnside’s motion for default
judgment, filed with the Court on September 26, 2016 (Doc. 10). Petitioner seeks an entry of
judgment in his favor, arguing that Respondent has not complied with the Court’s July 6, 2016
case management order. In its case management order, the Court ordered Respondent to show
cause why Petitioner should not be granted relief (Doc. 5). On August 22, 2016, Respondent
timely moved for an extension of time, up to an including September 20, 2016, in which to
comply with the case management order (Doc. 7). The Court granted the motion, and on
September 20, 2016, Respondent filed his response (Doc. 9). Respondent has complied with the
Court’s case management order, and thus is not in default. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner’s motion for default judgment (Doc. 10) is
DENIED.
Dated this 28th day of September, 2016.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
