UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BESPAQ CORPORATION,

Plaintiff, No. C 04-3698 PJH

v. ORDER OF DISMISSAL

FOR FAILURE TO SERVE

ANHWEIN HUAMEI ART PRODUCT

CO, LTD., dba ANHUI ART PRODUCTS,

Defendant.

_______________________________/

On September 8, 2006, this court issued an order granting plaintiff five months, until

February 2, 2007, in which to perfect service on defendant Anhwein Huamei Art Product

Co., Ltd. (“Anhwein”), the only remaining defendant in this case. This five month extension

was in addition to a previous six month extension that the court granted to plaintiff on

February 3, 2006, in order to perfect service and obtain entry of default as to Anhwein. The

complaint was filed on September 1, 2004. All told, therefore, plaintiff has had a year and a

half to perfect service upon defendant. The court’s September 8 order advised plaintiff that

if service was not accomplished by February 2, 2007, the case would be dismissed. To

date, and more than one month past the February deadline, plaintiff has still not perfected

service, or advised the court of the status of its continued attempts to do so. 

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 4, for failure to

serve a foreign defendant within a reasonable time. The clerk shall close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
