May 15, 2026 Filing 21 Plaintiff's MOTION for Clerk's Entry of Default Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a) by Camerron L. Bradberry. (ggill, )
May 15, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 20 MINUTE ORDER: The #18 Plaintiff's Motion for Entry of Default Judgment and #19 Plaintiff's Motion for Entry of Default Judgment are DENIED without prejudice. "Entry of a default judgment involves a two-step process." Meyers v. Pfizer, Inc., 581 F. App'x 708, 710 (10th Cir. 2014) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a)-(b)). "If the defendant fails to timely respond to the complaint, the plaintiff can request entry of a default by the court clerk" under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Id.; see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a) (providing that entry of default is appropriate against any party who "has failed to plead or otherwise defend" against an affirmative request for relief). "If the clerk enters a default, the plaintiff can [then] ask the court to grant a default judgment." Meyers, 581 F. App'x at 710 (emphasis added). Here, Plaintiff has not completed the first step of process--i.e., he has not requested that the Clerk of Court enter a clerk's entry of default under Rule 55(a) or obtained a clerk's entry of default. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motions for Entry of Default Judgment are premature and must be denied without prejudice. See Ward v. Lutheran Med. Ctr., No. 18-cv-00232-CMA-STV, 2019 WL 7630812, at *1 (D. Colo. June 26, 2019). In addition, Plaintiff is directed to this Court's Standing Order Regarding the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence ("AI") in Court Filings, which is available on the District of Colorado's website. The Standing Order requires that "[e]very filing shall contain an AI Certification regarding the use, or non-use, of generative AI (such as ChatGPT, Harvey.AI, or Google Gemini) in preparing the filing." Plaintiff is also reminded that although he proceeds pro se, he remains obligated to comply with the requirements of this Court's Standing Order and Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. All Parties are advised that future filings that do not comply with the Standing Order may be stricken. By Judge Nina Y. Wang on 05/15/2026.
