ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND MOTION

TO SET ASIDE JUDGMENT

(Documents 12, 14)

Plaintiff Jerry Simpson, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed the instant copyright

infringement action in the Stanislaus County Superior Court on October 4, 2009. Defendant

removed the action to this Court on November 3, 2009.

On November 10, 2009, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the action for failure to state

a claim for which relief can be granted. The motion is currently pending.

On December 17, 2009, Plaintiff filed a motion for default judgment. As Defendant has

appeared in this action, however, default judgment is not appropriate and the motion is DENIED.

On January 6, 2010, Plaintiff filed a motion to set aside a void judgment. However,

judgment has not been entered in this action and his motion is therefore DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 8, 2010 /s/ Dennis L. Beck
