IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DENNLY BECKER,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-12-501 KJM CKD PS

vs.

WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., INC., ORDER

Defendant.

 /

Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion for an order to show cause why

defendant should not be held in contempt for violation of a court order. Plaintiff contends

defendant should be held in contempt because defendant failed to file an answer after being

granted an extension of time by the court. See dkt. no. 19. While plaintiff is correct that

defendant’s responsive pleading was due by April 27, 2012 under the court’s order, holding

defendant in contempt appears unwarranted in light of the other avenues available to plaintiff,

such as seeking entry of default.
