JOSHUA MUZUMALA, Plaintiff, v. ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS, ET AL., Defendant.
ORDER
JOHN G. KOELTL, DISTRICT JUDGE
The Court is in receipt of the plaintiff's submission styled as a motion for a default judgment against the defendant United States Immigration & Customs Enforcement ("ICE") (ECF No. 19). Because ICE has not yet been served in this action and the time for the United States Marshals to effectuate service on ICE has not expired, any request for a default judgment against ICE is premature. Accordingly, the plaintiff's motion for a default judgment as to ICE is denied without prejudice. The time for the U.S. Marshals to effectuate service of the summons and complaint on ICE is extended to December 19, 2022.
The Clerk is respectfully directed to close ECF No. 19 and to mail a copy of this Order to the pro se plaintiff.
SO ORDERED.
