Opinion

CIVIL ACTION SECTION "P", NO. CV06-1396-A.

February 5, 2009

ORDER

JAMES KIRK, Magistrate Judge

Burnette filed a motion for entry of default against the United States (Docs. 134, 139) and motion for sanctions against the United States (Doc. 140) due to its failure to file an answer to the complaint. Since the United States responded to the complaint with a partial motion to dismiss, default and sanctions are not appropriate at this time. Burnette's motions for default and sanctions (Docs. 134, 139, 140) are DENIED.

The United States' answer on Burnette's remaining claims is now due.
