Case No. 2:15-cv-00623-APG-GWF
Plaintiff,

v.
STATE OF NEVADA, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR
DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND MOTION
FOR PUNISHMENT OF FRAUD
(ECF NOS. 118, 119)

9
10

Plaintiff Victor Tagle moves for default judgment but he has not stated any basis to award

11

default judgment as the defendants have appeared and filed an answer in this matter. ECF No.

12

116. He asserts default judgment should be entered because the defendants and their counsel

13

have engaged in unspecified misconduct. ECF No. 118. However, he does not identify what that

14

conduct is nor does he present any evidence in support. I therefore deny this motion.

15

Tagle also filed a motion for “punishment” of alleged “fraud.” ECF No. 119 at 1. Tagle

16

alleges that the defendants’ counsel has engaged in unidentified dishonest behavior. Id. He also

17

asserts that the inmate library clerk forced him to sign documents without letting him look at

18

them. Id. at 1-2. He further contends that he never requested help from the law librarian and that

19

he never filed a motion in this case. Id. at 2. He also references an email but does not explain

20

what email he is discussing. Id. Even if Tagle’s allegations were comprehensible, he has

21

presented no evidence to support them. I therefore deny this motion.
