UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RONALD DEAN YANDELL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DONALD WASHINGTON, et al., 

Defendants. 

2:21-cv-00469 DAD AC 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On August 15, 2024, plaintiff filed a motion for entry of default against 

defendants Jones, Luke, and Saika. ECF No. 67. Court records indicate that the U.S. Marshal 

mailed defendants a waiver of service of summons on July 10, 2024. Rule 4(d)(3) of the Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a defendant shall file his or her appearance within sixty 

days from the date the waiver is mailed. Accordingly, plaintiff’s request is premature and will be 

denied. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for entry of default is 

denied. 

DATED: August 21, 2024
