IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KELVIN CARVER JOHNSON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0298 DFL JFM P

vs.

THE DIRECTOR OF

CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an action

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 4, 2005, plaintiff filed a motion styled as a

motion for summary judgment. After review of the motion, however, the court construes it as a

request for entry of default against defendant Donald Neal. By order filed June 22, 2005, this

court ordered the United States Marshal to serve process on defendant. There is no evidence in

the record whether such service has been accomplished. Accordingly, entry of default is not

appropriate at this time. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 55. Plaintiff’s motion will therefore be denied.
