5 Order Of Involuntary Inactive Enrollment, For Fraud Upon The Court” within the

8 Plaintiff served his Complaint on defendant SCOTT DREXEL on

9
February.10, 2010, and on defendants STATE BAR OF CALIFORNIA and
10
BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE STATE BAR OF CALIFORNIA on
11

12 February 18, 2009. A copy of the Server’s Affidavits and proofs of service of
13
summons is on file with this Court and another copy is attached hereto as Exhibit
14

15 “A.” Defendants responsive pleadings were due on March 2 and March 10,
16
2010, respectively. F.R.C.P. 12(a)(1)(A) (“A defendant must serve an answer
17

18
within 20 days after being served with the summons and complaint”).

19 A review of the Court’s docket report, which is attached as Exhibit “B”,

20
shows that defendants have not appeared or filed a responsive pleading in this
21

22 case. Thus, the proofs of service and evidence of default comply with F.R.C.P.
23
55. Because defendants failed to appear or otherwise respond to the Complaint,
24

25 default should be entered against them.
