UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRANCISCA MORALEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

NASSER S.M. ALTUHAIF, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-00647-DMR 

ORDER GRANTING 45 DAY 

EXTENSION TO COMPLETE 

GENERAL ORDER 56 JOINT 

INSPECTION

Re: Dkt. No. 13

On June 6, 2016, Plaintiff Francisca Moralez filed a motion to continue the General Order 

56 Joint Inspection deadline. [Docket No. 13.] The last day for the parties to conduct the joint 

inspection of the premises was May 23, 2016. [Docket No. 4.] Plaintiff Moralez states that she 

did not keep track of the deadlines because she thought a lawyer who represented her in a prior 

action was representing her in the present case, and because she was sick. [Docket No. 13 at 1-2.] 

On June 8, Defendant Badr Sanane filed an opposition to Plaintiff’s request for an 

extension, arguing that Plaintiff has filed twenty lawsuits for violations of the Americans with 

Disabilities Act (“ADA”) in this District since 2015, and that Plaintiff should be familiar with the 

Northern District of California’s General Order No. 56 and its requirements. [Docket No. 14.] 

Defendant Sanane points out Plaintiff’s numerous failures to comply with General Order 56: 

Plaintiff failed to complete service on all Defendants by April 8, 2016, did not serve initial 

disclosures, or contact Defendant Sanane to schedule a site inspection before the May 23, 2016 

deadline. Id.; Scheduling Order [Docket No. 4]. On this basis Defendant Sanane requests that 

Plaintiff’s Request to Continue the General Order 56 Joint Inspection be denied and the case 

dismissed with prejudice. This does not constitute cause for dismissal of the case. 

The deadline for Plaintiff to complete service on the Defendants was April 8, 2016. 

[Docket No. 4.] Plaintiff has not filed proofs of service for Defendants Tony C. Wong and Evon

Wong, and neither has appeared in this action. Plaintiff is reminded that under Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 4(m), if a defendant is not served within 90 days after the complaint is filed,

absent good cause, the court may dismiss the action without prejudice against that defendant. The 

complaint in this case was filed on February 8, 2016, and the 90 day period has passed. [Docket 

No. 1.] Plaintiff is hereby ordered to promptly complete service on Defendants Tony C. Wong 

and Evon Wong in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4 and file proofs of service 

with the court within 10 days from the date of this order. 

The court grants a 45 day extension to conduct the joint site inspection. The parties must 

complete the joint site inspection by July 7, 2016. The last day for parties to complete initial 

disclosures is June 30, 2016. No further extensions will be given. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 9, 2016
