ORDER
LESLIE HOFFMAN PRICE, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
This cause comes before the Court on several motions for Clerk's default and default judgment filed by Plaintiff Eddie Denson, who appears pro se. Doc. Nos. 21-30. Upon review, all of the motions fail to comply with the Local Rules of this Court, including Local Rules 1.08,3.01(a), and 3.01(g). And even if the Court overlooked these deficiencies, Plaintiff seeks Clerk's default and default judgment against several Defendants who have appeared in this case, each of which challenge service of process. See Doc. Nos. 21, 23-26, 28-30. See also Doc. No. 19. Accordingly, Plaintiff has not demonstrated that Clerk's default or default judgment as to these Defendants is proper. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 55. As it relates to Plaintiff's requests for Clerk's default and default judgment against Defendant “Attorney Dan Newlin,” Plaintiff has not demonstrated that service of process was proper, justifying default. See Doc. Nos. 22, 27.

For these reasons, Plaintiff's Motions (Doc. Nos. 21-30) are DENIED.
DONE and ORDERED.
