JESSE WASHINGTON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0525 LKK KJM P

vs.

LEE ALEXANDER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a California prisoner proceeding pro se with an action for violation of

civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has filed a motion for entry of default. 

On August 14, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion asking that defendants be held in

default under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55. However, on August 4, 2006, defendants were

given until September 6, 2006 to file a response to plaintiff’s complaint. Defendants filed a

motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) on September 1, 2006.1

Therefore, plaintiff’s motion for default will be denied.
