UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

MARY A. FRANKLIN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 18cv2542-LAB (KSC)

ORDER GRANTING STAY AND 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO SERVE 

[Dkt. 8]

This is an action by the United States to reduce to judgment federal income tax 

assessments made against Defendant Mary Franklin, among other things. Despite what it 

characterizes as diligent efforts, the United States has been unable to properly serve Defendants 

Mary and Marsi Franklin. This is compounded by the fact that the Department of Justice 

currently lacks appropriations and cannot actively participate in the litigation. Accordingly, the 

United States requests a stay of the action and an extension of time to serve Defendants.

For good cause shown, the Court GRANTS the United States’ request for an extension 

of time to serve Defendants until either March 6, 2019 or thirty days after Congress has restored 

appropriations to the Department of Justice, whichever is later. FRCP 4(m). The case is 

STAYED until that time. The ENE currently scheduled for January 30, 2019 is VACATED, to be 

rescheduled by Magistrate Judge Crawford at a time convenient for the Court and parties.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 11, 2019

Hon. Larry Alan Burns

United States District Judge
