ORDER

This action is presently before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Default and Default

Judgment with Up-Date on Judgment (Doc. # 9) which was filed on April 25, 2008. As of

the date that the motion was filed, Defendant had not been properly served with summons

and complaint. The Court has stayed further proceedings in this action, including service of

process, pending further review under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Thus, the prerequisites to entry of

either default or default judgment have not been satisfied in this case. Accordingly, it is

hereby ORDERED as follows:

1. The stay of this action is LIFTED for the purposes of entry of this Order only. 

2. The Plaintiff’s Motion for Default and Default Judgment with Up-Date on

Judgment (Doc. # 9) is DENIED.

DONE this the 6th day of May, 2008.
