UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HELEN WHELAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

MEGAN BRENNAN,

Defendant.

No. 2:14-cv-1096 TLN CKD PS

ORDER

Plaintiff has filed a motion for default judgment.1 Plaintiff contends that defendant filed 

an untimely answer. Although plaintiff asserts that defendant was served electronically on May 

5, 2014, plaintiff has not provided evidence of when the defendant was properly served with 

summons in compliance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4. Moreover, defendant filed a 

motion to dismiss, which was granted by the District Judge on November 18, 2014. Defendant 

thereafter filed an answer on February 11, 2015. Under these circumstances, entry of default 

judgment is inappropriate.
