Defendant Huggins, although properly served, has not yet filed a responsive pleading.1 

Nor has defendant Huggins paid the sum of $69.13 to the Marshal, or filed a statement showing 

good cause for his failure to waive service. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendant Huggins show cause, within twenty-one days from the date of this order, 

why default should not be entered; 

2. The Clerk of the Court shall forward a copy of this order to defendant Huggins at 

California State Prison - Sacramento, Prison Road, P.O. Box 290002, Represa, CA 95671; and

3. Within seven days from the date of this order, the Attorney General shall inform the 

court if it intends to represent defendant Huggins in this action.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1)(A)(i) provides that, for a defendant who has not waived service under 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d), “the time for serving a responsive pleading is . . . within 21 days after being 

served with the summons and complaint.” Defendant Huggins was personally served with 

process on July 23, 2013. ECF No. 39. Therefore, defendant Huggins had until August 13, 2013, 

to file a responsive pleading.
