IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN A. MARTIN,

Plaintiff, No. 2:10-cv-0189 WBS DAD (PC)

vs.

A. MASURET, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 20, 2010, plaintiff filed a document styled as a “motion and

demand for judgment by default/summary judgment” against defendant Dale Hamad. The

motion is predicated on defendant Hamad’s alleged failure to timely respond to plaintiff’s second

amended complaint. The court construes plaintiff’s motion as a request for entry of default

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). By order filed December 22, 2010, defendant Hamad’s motion

for an extension of time to respond to the second amended complaint was granted and defendant

Hamad was granted sixty days from the date of that order to file and serve a response. 

Accordingly, plaintiff’s request for entry of default will be denied.
