UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OBIE L. CRISP III,

Plaintiff,

v.

WASCO STATE PRISON, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:13-cv-01899-SKO (PC)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR DEFAULT

(Doc. 22)

Plaintiff Obie L. Crisp III (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil action on November 22, 2013. On August 20, 2015, Plaintiff filed a 

motion seeking default against the defendants. The defendants have neither been served with 

process nor waived service of process, Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d), (e), and therefore, they are not in 

default, Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a), (b).1 Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion is HEREBY DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 25, 2015 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto

In a separate order issued concurrently with this order, the Court provided Plaintiff with service documents to 

complete and return to the Court. The United States Marshal will be directed to initiate service of the summons and 

third amended complaint once the completed documents are returned.
