ORDER SETTING DEADLINE FOR

DEFENDANT TO NOTIFY THE COURT

WHETHER IT WILL WAIVE SERVICE OF

SUMMONS;

AND 

CONTINUING HEARING AND CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

On June 25, 2007, Defendant filed a Motion to Quash Service of Process and Dismiss for

Lack of Jurisdiction. Plaintiff opposed the motion. Having reviewed the papers submitted by the

parties, the court finds it appropriate to issue this interim order, and to continue the hearing on

Defendant’s motion and the Case Management Conference. Based on the moving, opposition and

reply papers, and the file herein,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that no later than August 3, 2007, Defendant shall file and serve

notice of whether or not it will waive service of summons in accordance with the spirit of Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 4(d). In the event Defendant notifies the court and Plaintiff that it waives

such service, it will have 75 days from the date of that notice to respond to the complaint.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, in light of Defendant having received actual knowledge of

This will allow sufficient time for Plaintiff to send a Rule 4(d) request to waive service 1

to Defendant in the event Defendant does not voluntarily do so byAugust 3 , and, if Defendant still does rd

not waive service in response to Plaintiff’s Rule 4(d) request, for Plaintiff to have Defendant properly

served (with all associated costs to be ultimately reimbursed to Plaintiff by Defendant pursuant to Rule

4(d)).

ORDER, page 2

the complaint, and having obtained a copy of the complaint, the court finds the interests of justice

will be best served by extending until November 1, 2007, the time within which Plaintiff, who is 1

proceeding in pro per, must complete proper service of the summons and complaint (unless waived

by Defendant). 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the hearing on Defendant’s motion is continued to August

14, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. In light of the fact that Defendant failed to properly address the copy of its

motion, and the resulting delay in service of the motion upon Plaintiff, Plaintiff may supplement her

opposition papers if she so wishes. Any such supplemental opposition papers shall be filed and

served (by mail addressed to Defendant’s attorney) no later than August 6, 2007. Any supplemental

reply may be filed no later than August 10, 2007.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Case Management Conference is continued to on

October 16, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. 

Dated: 7/27/07
