shall be served with written notice of the application for judgment at

least 3 days prior to the hearing on such application.”

On August 22, plaintiff filed proof of service upon Mr.

Rahbarian at what appears to be his residential address. 

However, Mr. Rahbarian is represented by an attorney. Fed. R.

Civ. P. 5(b)(1) requires that service upon a party represented by

an attorney “is made on the attorney unless the court orders

service on the party.” 

 Accordingly, plaintiff shall serve his motion for default

judgment and related documents upon the attorney for Mr.

Rahbarian, Mr. Mark Christopher Ellis, and file proof of such

service, on or before September 30, 2005. The September 21

hearing on this motion is vacated and rescheduled for Wednesday,

October 12, 2005, at 9 a.m., in Courtroom 25.

So ordered.

Dated: September 21, 2005.
