ORDER

Pending before the Court are Plaintiff Rick Alton Foley’s Application for Entry of

Default, Motion for Default Judgment, and Notice of Application for Entry of Default

(collectively, “Requests for Default”). (Dkts. 41-43.) Foley requests the Court Clerk enter

the default of Defendant Sabbagh because he “has failed to plead or otherwise defend this

action as provided by Federal/Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure.” (Dkt. 41 at 1.)

A review of the docket indicates that Defendant Sabbagh waived notice on November

3, 2007; his answer was due January 2, 2007. See Dkt. 34. On November 20, 2006,

Defendant Sabbagh timely requested leave of Court to “join” Defendant Broaderick’s Motion

to Dismiss and Reply filed in support thereof. See Dkt. 32 at 1 n.1. The Court had not ruled

on Defendant Sabbagh’s timely request when Foley’s Requests for Default were filed on

March 6, 2007. Because Defendant Sabbagh timely requested leave of Court to defend the

case by joining Defendant Broaderick’s Motion to Dismiss, Foley’s Requests for Default will

be denied.
