UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOHN PHILIP MONCRIEF, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS AND 

REHABILITATION, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:12-cv-00414 MCE AC P 

ORDER 

 On February 2, 2015, the parties stipulated to extend the time for the defendants to 

respond to the third amended complaint to February 19, 2015. ECF No. 57. The additional time 

was requested because newly added defendants Gorham and Frias had not yet been served, and 

counsel for the defendants required additional time to contact them regarding representation and 

to discuss the matter. Id. On February 12, 2015, in response to this court’s order, defendants 

Gorham and Frias advised that they agreed to waive service of process and requested that waivers 

be sent to counsel for their records. ECF No. 60. 

Presumably, the intent of the stipulation was to extend the time for the served defendants, 

Grounds and California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), to respond so that 

they could do so at the same time as the unserved defendants, Gorham and Frias, whose time to 

respond had not yet started running. In light of Gorham and Frias’ waiver of service of process,

the stipulation to extend the time for defendants Grounds and CDCR to respond to the third 

amended complaint will be granted. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. The parties’ stipulation to extend time for the defendants to respond to the third 

amended complaint (ECF No. 57) is granted and defendants Grounds and CDCR shall have until 

February 19, 2015, to respond to the third amended complaint. 

 2. The United States Marshals Service shall send waiver of service of summons forms for 

defendants Gorham and Frias to their counsel of record.
