Rule 55 requires the Clerk to enter the default of a party

who fails to plead or defend against a claim for affirmative

relief. Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). 

Respondent timely requested an extension of time to file and

serve a response to the application and so has not failed to

plead or defend.

For these reasons, the Clerk of the Court shall not enter

respondent’s default. 

So ordered.

Dated: November 22, 2005.
