IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL MYUNG-SUP SHIN,

Plaintiff,

 v.

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF THE

UNITED STATES COURTS, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C-06-7765 MMC

ORDER DENYING AS MOOT JAMES E.

COOKE’S MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM

ENTRY OF DEFAULT; SETTING

BRIEFING SCHEDULE ON COOKE’S

REQUEST FOR SUA SPONTE

DISMISSAL RE: QUASI-JUDICIAL

IMMUNITY

Before the Court is defendant James E. Cooke’s (“Cooke”) Motion for Relief from

Entry of Default Based on Excusable Neglect, filed June 28, 2007. On June 27, 2007,

however, the Clerk denied plaintiff’s request for entry of default against Cooke.

Accordingly, Cooke’s motion is hereby DENIED as moot. 

Also before the Court is a document titled “Memorandum of Points and Authorities of

James E. Cooke in Support of Qualified Immunity of James E. Cooke,” filed June 28, 2007. 

Cooke argues therein that the Court should dismiss sua sponte all claims against him, on

the ground that he is entitled to absolute quasi-judicial immunity as a guardian ad litem

appointed by the Court. The Court construes the above-referenced document as a motion

to dismiss, and hereby sets the following briefing schedule: (1) plaintiff shall file any

opposition no later than July 13, 2007; (2) Cooke shall file any reply no later than July 20,
