UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NORRIS DAJON MILLER,

Plaintiff,

v.

WARDEN, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:10-cv-00112-SKO PC

ORDER DENYING MOTION 

FOR ENTRY OF DEFAULT

(Doc. 25)

Plaintiff Norris Dajon Miller, a former state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on January 23, 2010. On May

29, 2012, Plaintiff filed his third motion seeking the entry of default. Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). 

As with the two previous motions, Plaintiff’s third motion lacks merit. The United States

Marshal was directed to initiate service of process on April 24, 2012. There is no evidence in the

record that Defendants waived service or were personally served and thereafter failed to file a timely

response. Until and unless Plaintiff is in receipt of such evidence, there is no basis for seeking entry

of default. 

Plaintiff was previouslywarned that furtherfiling of baseless requests for the entry of default

may lead to the imposition of sanctions against him. Plaintiff is now warned that if he files another

meritless motion, sanctions will be imposed against him.
