(HC) Phan v. Covello

8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA MINH KHA HOANG PHAN, No. 2:21-cv-2219 TLN CKD P 12 Petitioner, 13 v. ORDER AND P. CAVELLO, FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 15 Respondent.

17 On March 14, 2022, respondent timely-filed a motion to dismiss petitioner’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Apparently petitioner never received the motion which resulted in petitioner filing what the court construes as a motion for entry of default judgment on April 31, 2022.

21 Good cause appearing, the court will order respondent to re-serve the motion to dismiss.

22 Petitioner will be given additional time to respond and then respondent will be given additional time to file a reply. The court will recommend that petitioner’s motion for default be denied.

24 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 25 1. Respondent shall re-serve on petitioner the motion to dismiss originally filed March 14, 2022 within 7 days. Petitioner’s opposition, or statement of non-opposition to the motion, is due within 30 days of service of the motion to dismiss. Petitioner’s failure to comply with this ///// | order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. Respondent’s reply shall be || filed within 21 days of service of petitioner’s opposition or statement of non-opposition.

3 2. Petitioner’s July 11, 2022 request to file a “‘sur-reply” is denied.

4 IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that petitioner’s March 31, 2022 motion for || “summary judgement,” which is essentially a motion for entry of default judgement, be denied.

6 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge || assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Within fourteen days | after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written || objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned || “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Any response to the || objections shall be served and filed within fourteen days after service of the objections. The || parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to || appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. YIst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
