IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN ERIC CHATMON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1595 DFL GGH P

vs.

MR. DEMERS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On February 14, 2006, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On March 15, 2006,

the court granted plaintiff a thirty day extension of time to file his opposition. The court also

ordered that defendants’ reply was due thirty days thereafter.

Thirty days passed and plaintiff did not file an opposition. However, on May 8,

2006, plaintiff filed a request for entry of default. Plaintiff argues that defendants are in default

because they did not file a reply. 

Plaintiff is confused regarding the order of briefing. Defendants may file a reply

after plaintiff files an opposition. Because plaintiff has not filed an opposition, defendants’ reply

is not due.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s May 8, 2006, request for entry of default is denied;

to defendants’ motion to dismiss; failure to file an opposition will be deemed a waiver of

opposition.
