ORDER

We have before us plaintiff’s application for entry of default as to defendant Steve A.

Burd (doc. 10), plaintiff’s affidavit of default (doc. 11), defendant’s motion to set aside

default (doc. 12), plaintiff’s response (doc. 13), and defendant’s reply (doc. 15). 

There is no evidence in the record that defendant Steve Burd was served with a

summons in compliance with Rule 4, Fed. R. Civ. P. The plaintiff was informed that

Safeway personnel were not authorized to accept service on behalf of any individual (doc.

12, ex. A). Therefore, plaintiff’s attempt to serve defendant Steve Burd solely by serving

Safeway is ineffective. Defendant Burd is not in default.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED DENYING plaintiff’s motion for entry of default (doc. 10).
