IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AARON L. COOPER,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1043 GEB JFM P

vs.

CAL TERHUNE, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 9, 2007, plaintiff filed a request to renew his motion for default

judgment against defendant Campbell. Entry of default is appropriate only where the defendant

has been properly served and fails to timely file a responsive pleading. Because service of

process was not accomplished on this defendant (see July 31, 2007 return of unexecuted service),

a motion for default judgment is not appropriate. (See also August 15, 2007 findings and

recommendations.) Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s August 9, 2007

request is denied.

DATED: August 16, 2007.
