The Court is persuaded that ACRC's Board cannot be sued as an entity separate from ACRC. See Siegler v. Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., No. 2020-1435, 2021 WL 3046590, at *10 (Fed. Cir. July 20, 2021) (“[U]nder California law, a plaintiff may not sue a corporation's board of directors as an entity separate from the corporation.”)
The filing of an answer, however, may be construed as a motion to set aside an entry of default, and the Court will so construe in this case. See Siegler v. Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., No. 2020-1435, 2021 WL 3046590, at *12 (Fed. Cir. July 20, 2021); Davies, No. 91-15065, 1992 WL 317249, at *1; Hughes v. Port of Seattle, Nos. 87-3627, 87-3650, 1988 WL 60164, at *3 (9th Cir. June 3, 1988); see also Fed.R.Civ.P. 1 (providing rules should be employed by the court “to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding”). Additionally, Defendant Sarkisian, while still proceeding pro se, filed a motion to set aside default with the state court (Dkt. 1 at Ex. GG), and Defendant Harris, while also still proceeding pro se, filed a motion to dismiss with the state court (Dkt. 1 at Ex. DD), which Plaintiff construed as a motion to set aside the entry of default (Dkt. 1 at Ex. KK).
