Defendants' ANSWER to 1 Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief by Joshua Booth Green, Anne E. Lopez, State of Hawaii.(Hughes, Thomas) (Entered: 06/30/2025)

EO: The Court reviewed 15 the Government's Request for Clerk to Enter Default Against Defendants (Request). According to the Request, State Defendants "have failed to appear or otherwise defend." However, the same day the Request was filed, attorneys for State Defendants appeared and filed an 19 Answer to the Complaint. In light of State Defendants' response to the complaint, albeit untimely, the Court DENIES 15 the Government's Request for Entry of Default. See Jennings v. Cnty. of Riverside, No. 5:19-01523 JFW (ADS), 2022 WL 19829433, at *1 (C.D. Cal. Oct. 31, 2022) ("Default may not be entered once a defendant has filed an answer." (citations omitted)); Thomas v. Mark Kuo, 2017 WL 3720752, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 29, 2017) ("[I]n light of the late answer, entry of default is inappropriate."). (MAGISTRATE JUDGE WES REBER PORTER) (jo) (Entered: 07/03/2025)
