United States District Court

Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN BERMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

DEPT. OF POLICE AND CITY OF 

VACAVILLE, CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 18-cv-03108-MMC 

ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE FOR 

PLAINTIFF TO SERVE DEFENDANTS;

CONTINUING INITIAL CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

On May 24, 2018, plaintiff filed his complaint in the above-titled action. By order 

filed May 30, 2018, the Court denied plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis, 

without prejudice to plaintiff's filing an amended application. By order filed July 6, 2018, 

the Court denied plaintiff's amended application, and directed plaintiff to make partial 

payment of the filing fee in the amount of $200, which amount plaintiff paid on August 2,

2018.

To date, the docket does not reflect that plaintiff has effectuated service of process 

on any defendant. Under Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a plaintiff must 

serve a defendant "within 90 days after the complaint is filed," a period of time a court 

may extend. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). As plaintiff paid the requisite filing fee on August 

2, 2018, the Court hereby extends the deadline and DIRECTS plaintiff to serve each 

defendant with the summons and complaint, as well as a copy of this order, no later than 

November 2, 2018, and to file proof of such service no later than November 9, 2018.

Lastly, as no defendant has been served, the Court hereby CONTINUES the Initial 

Case Management Conference from August 24, 2018, to December 14, 2018, at 10:30
