UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DIRECTV, LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOHN W. SCOTT,

Defendant.

No. 2:14-cv-2563-JAM-KJN PS

ORDER

On April 17, 2015, the court issued an order striking defendant’s purported answer filed 

on January 5, 2015 (ECF No. 5) for failure to comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

(ECF No. 15.) However, the court granted defendant 21 days to file an amended answer to 

plaintiff’s complaint that complies with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, including Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 8. (Id.) Defendant was specifically cautioned that failure to file an 

amended answer by the required deadline would result in an order directing the Clerk of Court to 

enter defendant’s default, whereupon plaintiff would be permitted to move for a default judgment. 

(Id.)

Although the applicable deadline has now passed, defendant failed to file an amended 

answer to plaintiff’s complaint in compliance with the court’s order, nor has defendant requested 

an extension of time to do so.

Dated: May 15, 2015
