NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIELLE MALMQUIST,

Plaintiff,

v.

SHEM MALMQUIST, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.17-cv-04831-JD 

ORDER VACATING HEARING AND

EXTENDING DEADLINE TO 

RESPOND TO MOTION TO DISMISS

Re: Dkt. No. 48

On January 31, 2019, defendants Shem and Meredith Malmquist moved to dismiss the 

complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2) for lack of personal jurisdiction. Dkt. 

No. 48. Along with their motion, they filed a certificate of service showing that pro se plaintiff 

Danielle Malmquist was served with a copy of the motion by U.S. Postal Service mail at the 

address she has listed on her own filings in this case: P.O. Box 4664, San Mateo, CA 94404. Dkt. 

No. 48-7. 

Plaintiff did not file a timely opposition under the district’s civil local rules. Civ. 

L.R. 7-3(a). On March 6, 2019, she filed a “notice of unavailability” and “response” to the 

motion, in which she claims that she never received a copy of the motion and asks for more time 

to respond to it. Dkt. No. 50.

A proof of service is presumptively accurate unless facts are adduced showing otherwise, 

which did not happen here. Nevertheless, as an accommodation on this one occasion only, the 

Court will allow plaintiff Danielle Malmquist an extension of time to respond to the motion to 

dismiss. The response must be filed by March 29, 2019. No further extensions will be granted. 

The parties are advised that a “notice of unavailability” and similar communications are not 

recognized in federal court and do not have any effect whatsoever on court deadlines. Please do 

not file or serve any such notices.

The hearing on the motion set for March 14, 2019 is VACATED.
