UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff James Cato, Jr. is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On January 29, 2015, the Court entered default as to Defendant J. Dumont. (ECF No. 19.)

On February 4, 2015, Defendant Dumont filed an answer to the complaint. (ECF No. 21.) 

Although Defendant Dumont has responded to the complaint, he has not responded and/or addressed 

the entry of default as to him. As such, the entry of default pursuant to Rule 55(c) of the Federal Rules 

of Civil Procedure remains in effect and Defendant Dumont’s answer to the complaint must be 

STRICKEN from the record. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
