ORDER
/
16
Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment against defendants Jackson and Johnson
17
Purayampallil presently is calendared for hearing on November 17, 2011. The record indicates
18
that entry of default was set aside on May 16, 2011. (Dkt. no. 19.) On September 21, 2011,
19
plaintiff was directed to “proceed with obtaining an entry of default.” (Dkt. no. 20). Plaintiff has
20
not obtained an entry of default, and there exists a required two step process to obtain a default
21
judgment. See Winters v. Jordan, 2011 WL 2470683 *3 (E.D. Cal. 2011).
