JUAN VILLA RAMIREZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

JAMES TILTON, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 07-04681 SBA (PR)

ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND

DENYING IN PART PLAINTIFF'S

REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF

TIME TO FILE AMENDMENT TO THE

COMPLAINT AND TO PROVIDE

PROOF OF SERVICE

(Docket no. 17)

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed the present pro se prisoner complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983,

in which he asserts three claims for relief against twenty-one Defendants, all officials and employees

at San Quentin State Prison (SQSP) and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation

(CDCR). On March 5, 2010, the Court reviewed the complaint and issued an "Order on Review of

Complaint; and Directing Plaintiff to File Proof of Service or Show Cause." The Court found the

Plaintiff's allegation that SQSP medical staff failed to provide adequate medical treatment (for his

hemangiomas) stated a cognizable deliberate indifference claim against Defendants. However, none

of these Defendant had been served; therefore, the Court directed Plaintiff, who paid the filing fee in

this matter, to "either provide the Court with proof of service of the summons and complaint upon

the Defendants against whom he alleges his deliberate indifference to serious medical needs claim,

or otherwise show cause why the complaint should not be dismissed without prejudice as to each

unserved Defendant pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure." (Mar. 5, 2010

Order at 7.) Plaintiff was also directed to file an amendment to the complaint containing amended

ADA and Section 504 claims against SQSP and the CDCR. All remaining claims were dismissed. 

Plaintiff was given thirty days to file his response to the Court's March 5, 2010 Order.

Before the Court is Plaintiff 's request for a ninety-day extension of time: (1) to file his

amendment to the complaint; and (2) to show proof that he has served those Defendants against

whom he alleges his deliberate indifference to serious medical needs claim, or to show cause why

such Defendants should not be dismissed from this action without prejudice. Having read and

considered Plaintiff's request, and good cause appearing,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's request for an extension of time is GRANTED in

PART and DENIED in PART. The Court DENIES Plaintiff's request for a ninety-day extension, but

finds that a brief extension is warranted. The time in which Plaintiff may: (1) file his amendment to

the complaint; and (2) either provide the Court with proof of service on those Defendants against

whom he alleges his deliberate indifference to serious medical needs claim, or show cause why such

Defendants should not be dismissed from this action without prejudice, will be extended up to and

including May 10, 2010. 

Failure to do so by the new deadline shall result in: (1) the dismissal without prejudice of his

ADA and Section 504 claims against SQSP and the CDCR; and (2) the dismissal without prejudice

as to the remaining deliberate indifference to serious medical needs claim against the unserved

Defendants pursuant to Rule 4(m). 

This Order terminates Docket no. 17. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
