UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Benny Ford is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On December 6, 2013, Plaintiff filed a request for entry of default judgment as to Defendant R. 

Marshall. 

Entry of default is appropriate as to any party against whom a judgment for affirmative relief is 

sought that has failed to plead or otherwise defend as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 

and where that fact is made to appear by affidavit or otherwise. Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Plaintiff is 

advised that Defendant R. Marshal waived service on November 19, 2013, and he has sixty days 

thereafter, i.e. until January 21, 2014, within which to file a response. Accordingly, Plaintiff is not 

entitled to entry of default as to Defendant R. Marshall, and his motion must be denied.
