FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION 

JOE HAND PROMOTIONS, INC.,

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

MICHAEL DAVID CARDOZE, et al., 

 Defendants. 

____________________________________/

No. C 10-0925 RS 

ORDER RE: MOTION TO STRIKE; 

ORDER REFERRING MATTER FOR 

RELATED CASE DETERMINATION 

 On May 05, 2010, plaintiff Joe Hand Promotions moved for entry of default against Michael 

Cardoze, doing business as Mike’s Sports Bar. The Clerk’s Office entered default on May 11, 2010. 

Michael Cardoze then filed a document captioned “Reply to Plaintiff’s Request for Entry of 

Judgment” on June 14, 2010. Plaintiff filed a motion to strike that document as impertinent, 

immaterial and scandalous on July 02, 2010. 

 The Court cannot consider arguments or positions on the merits unless and until the 

defendant files a motion to set aside the entry of default pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

55(c). Accordingly, the defendant’s document will be disregarded. This matter is decided without 

oral argument pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b) and the hearing scheduled for August 12, 2010 is 

vacated.
