judge’s report and recommendation (“R&R”) (ECF No. 190) in its entirety. In the April 27th
order, the court ordered that pro se defendant Clarence Moses Willis’ answer be stricken, that
plaintiff’s motion for sanctions be granted, and that default be entered against Willis for failing to
provide discovery and for failing to comply with the court’s orders. (ECF No. 190).
The clerk of the court entered default against Willis on May 17, 2017. (ECF No. 210).

Thereafter, plaintiff filed a proposed order for default judgment. (ECF No. 208).
Upon review of the record and the proposed order, it appears that plaintiff’s claims are not

to the court for a default judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b)(2).
Therefore, plaintiff is instructed to file a motion for default judgment in accordance with
