IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL DAVID STORMAN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-2113 FCD JFM PS 

vs.

THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF

HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES,

et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On January 31, 2008, plaintiff filed a request for entry of default based on

defendants’ alleged failure to timely appear in this action. On February 5, 2008, plaintiff filed a

motion for summary judgment based on defendants’ failure to answer the complaint. On

February 7, 2008, the federal defendant filed an objection to plaintiff’s request and motion. 

Defendant correctly points out that defendant’s responsive pleading is not due until March 18,

2008. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(2). 

Accordingly, plaintiff’s request for default and motion for summary judgment are

premature and will be denied without prejudice.
