IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAISY TURCZYNSKI,

JAMES FRIEDMAN, individually, ORDER

Defendants.

 /

On June 15, 2007, plaintiff filed a “Request for Entry of Default” as to all

defendants. Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Defendants Nbank Mortgage and James and Susan Friedman

have filed oppositions.

Plaintiff’s request will be denied. It cannot be said that any defendant has failed

to defend this action because none have been adequately served with process. Although plaintiff

attempted service of process by certified mail upon each defendant, this method did not conform

 E.g., Cal. Code Civil Proc. §§ 416.30 and 416.40 require that service of process include 1

return receipts which are completed by each defendant and filed in this court as proof of service,

while § 416.10 requires service of process upon designated agents for defendant corporations.

2

with the requirements of Cal. Code Civil Proc. §§ 416.30, 416.40 or 416.10. See generally Fed. 1

R. Civ. P. 4. Further, on May 31, 2007, this court granted plaintiff’s application to proceed in

forma pauperis and directed the U.S. Marshal to serve process upon all defendants. On June 12,

2007, the Marshal sent notice to each defendant, requesting waiver of service within 45 days. 

Defendants who timely file waivers shall have until August 6, 2007 to file an answer; should a

defendant decline to file a waiver, the time for filing an answer shall be 20 days after formal

service of process.

Accordingly, plaintiff’s June 15, 2007 request for entry of default is premature

and is HEREBY DENIED.
