ORDER GRANTING

PLAINTIFF’S

REQUESTS FOR

EXTENSION OF TIME

TO FILE AMENDED

COMPLAINT AND TO

SERVE ORDER ON

PRISON LITIGATION

OFFICE AND

DENYING REQUEST

FOR MARSHAL TO

SERVE COMPLAINT

(Docket ## 6, 7)

On February 16, 2010, the Court issued an Order Reviewing

Complaint Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, Ordering Service of Cognizable

Claims and Dismissing Noncognizable Claims with leave to amend. 

The Court granted Plaintiff thirty days from the date of the Order

to file his amended complaint. Plaintiff requests an extension of

time to file his amended complaint. For good cause appearing, the

Court grants Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time;

Plaintiff must file his amended complaint by April 30, 2010.

Plaintiff also requests that the Court send the February 16,

2010 Order to the Pelican Bay State Prison (PBSP) litigation office

so that Defendants have prior notice of this lawsuit and the

Court’s suggestion that they waive service of the summons. The

Court grants this request. The Court orders the Clerk of the Court

to send the February 16, 2010 Order and this Order to the PBSP

litigation office and reiterates the statement in the February 16,

2010 Order that Rule 4(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

requires Defendants to cooperate in saving unnecessary costs of

service of the summons and complaint by waiving service of the

summons, if requested to do so by Plaintiff. 

Because Defendants may waive service of the summons,

Plaintiff’s request to have the United States Marshal serve

Defendants is denied without prejudice as premature. Plaintiff may

resubmit this request if Defendants continue to refuse to waive

service of summons.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
