JUSTIN MERRIMAN,

Plaintiff,

 v.

OFFICER FNU TIERNEY, OFFICER

FNU SMITH, OFFICER FNU

ROBINSON,

Defendants. /

No. C 15-01715 WHA

ORDER DENYING

PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST

TO EXTEND DEADLINE

TO SERVE OFFICER SMITH

A prior order set the deadline for plaintiff to serve officers Smith and Robinson as today,

July 25. On July 24, plaintiff filed a motion seeking to extend the time to serve Officer Smith,

stating that he has learned that Officer Smith’s first name begins with the letter “D,” but that

there are several Officers Smith at San Quentin, and the proper defendant may have retired. 

Counsel has provided no explanation for what further efforts they could undertake with regard

to Officer Smith, nor have they explained why Officer Smith could not have been identified

earlier in the seventeen months since this case was first filed. 

Plaintiff’s request is DENIED. If service is not effected by the end of today, all claims

against Officer Smith will be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
