IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC PETERSEN, CASE NO. CV F 06-1364 AWI LJO

Plaintiff, ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTIONS TO

SEEK DEFAULT ENTRY

vs. (Docs. 9-11.)

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Pro se plaintiff Eric Petersen (“Mr. Petersen”) has filed several recent papers which this Court

construes as an attempt to seek default entry and/or judgment against defendants. Default entry or

judgment is improper in that plaintiff has failed to comply with F.R.Civ.P. 4( i ) to serve a copy of the

summons and complaint to the United States attorney for this district. Plaintiff has filed no papers to

prove service on the United States attorney for this district. The office of the United States attorney for

this district has confirmed that it has not been served with a copy of the summons and complaint. As

such, this Court considers plaintiff’s attempts to seek default entry orjudgment asfraud upon this Court.

The address to serve the U.S. attorney for this district is:

U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California

U.S. Attorney’s Office, Civil Process Clerk

2500 Tulare Street, Suite #4401

Fresno, CA 93721.

On the basis of good cause, this Court:
