No. CV 06-1980-PHX-JAT

ORDER

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment Upon Default (Doc. #11).

Plaintiff filed this case on August 15, 2006. The Docket Sheet indicates that summons issued

on August 16, 2006, and reissued on August 22, 2006 to correct the case number. The Clerk

of the Court entered default pursuant to Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a) on October 19, 2006.

After reviewing the docket, the Court noticed that the docket does not contain proof of

service of process of the Complaint on Defendant.1

 Because the docket does not contain an

executed return of summons, the Clerk of Court erred in granting the Entry of Default. The

Court finds that the Clerk of the Court shall vacate the Entry of Default. That finding makes

the pending Motion for Default Judgment moot. 

Accordingly,
