ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION FOR ENTRY OF DEFAULT

(DOC 64)

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

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. section 1983. This action involves allegations that defendants denied

plaintiff’s access to the courts through restrictive law library rules. Pending before the Court is

plaintiff’s motion for entry of defendants’ default. 

On February 17, 2006, the Court directed the United States Marshal to serve defendants. On

May 1, 2006, the Court granted defendants’ motion for an extension of time to respond to the

amended complaint, making their response due on or before June 28, 2006. On June 28, 2006,

defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 12(b)(6). Plaintiff filed the instant motion for entry of default on June 29, 2006,

apparently before receiving defendants’ motion to dismiss.
