UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

FRANK MALIFRANDO, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

REAL TIME RESOLUTIONS, INC., et 

al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0223 TLN GGH PS 

ORDER 

 Defendant Real Time Resolution Inc.’s motion to dismiss presently is calendared for 

hearing on October 6, 2016. Having reviewed the record, the court has determined that oral 

argument would not be of material assistance in determining the pending motion. Accordingly, 

the court will not entertain oral argument, and will determine the motion on the record, including 

the briefing in support of and in opposition to the pending motion. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 230(g). 

 Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment is noticed for hearing on October 13, 2016. 

Because the motion was defectively noticed less than twenty-eight days prior to the hearing as 

E.D. Cal. L.R. 230(b) requires, it will be vacated from the calendar. The motion will also be 

denied without prejudice as prematurely filed. This court’s order of July 14, 2016 provided in 

part: 

Within twenty-eight (28) days of this order, plaintiff shall file a 

request for entry of default with the Clerk for defendant Long 

Beach Mortgage Company pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a).

Within twenty-eight (28) days after default has been entered, 

plaintiff shall file a motion for default judgment in accordance with 

Rule 55(b)(2). Failure to file these pleadings will result in a 

recommendation that this defendant be dismissed from the action. 

Plaintiff has not filed a request for entry of default by the Clerk with supporting affidavit, 

as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Plaintiff will be given a final opportunity to comply with the 

court’s directive before defendant Long Beach Mortgage Company is dismissed from the action. 

 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that: 

1. The October 6, 2016 hearing on defendant Real Time Resolution Inc.’s motion 

to dismiss, (ECF No. 20), filed September 6, 2016, is vacated from the October 

6, 2016 calendar and the motion is submitted on the record. 

2. Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment, (ECF No. 25), is vacated from the 

calendar for October 13, 2016; and denied without prejudice. 

3. Within twenty-eight (28) days of this order, plaintiff shall file a request for 

entry of default with the Clerk for defendant Long Beach Mortgage Company 

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Within twenty-eight (28) days after default 

has been entered, plaintiff shall file a motion for default judgment in 

accordance with Rule 55(b)(2). Failure to file these pleadings will result in a 

recommendation that this defendant be dismissed from the action.
