IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ULF CARLSSON, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-10-0774 FCD KJM 

vs.

PETER J. MCBRIEN,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se with an action against defendant for damages under

42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1988 and declaratory judgment pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2201, et seq. The

court held a status conference on July 28, 2010. Plaintiff appeared in propria persona, but

neither the defendant nor any counsel on his behalf appeared. 

Plaintiff has successfully completed substituted service in accordance with

California Code of Civil Procedure § 415.20(b), which is applicable in this court under Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 4(e)(1). See Bonita Packing Co. v. O’Sullivan, 165 F.R.D. 610

(C.D.Cal.1995). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(a)(1)(A)(i) allows twenty-one days for the

filing of an answer after being served with a summons and complaint. Because defendant in this

case has not answered or otherwise appeared since being served, the court will direct the Clerk

of Court to enter default against him. Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a).
