IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LOUIS PEETS,

Plaintiff,

v.

SCOTT KERNAN, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:18-CV-2469-KJM-DMC-P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court are: (1) plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time to 

serve his second amended complaint, see ECF No. 22; and (2) plaintiff’s motion for an extension 

of time to file a notice of appeal of the court’s January 9, 2020, order, see ECF No. 23.

Plaintiff seeks an extension of time to serve his second amended complaint. 

Plaintiff’s motion will be denied as unnecessary because the court has not yet directed service of 

plaintiff’s second amended complaint. By separate order, the court will address service of the 

second amended complaint pursuant to the court’s “E-Service” program.1 

/ / /

1 Plaintiff is relieved of the obligation to submit documents as directed in the 

court’s October 3, 2019, order.

Plaintiff also seeks an extension of time to March 9, 2020, to file a notice of appeal 

of the court’s January 9, 2020, order. The order at issue is not a final order and the District Judge 

has not certified the order for interlocutory appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b). Therefore, 

plaintiff’s motion will be denied without prejudice to seeking a determination from the District 

Judge that the January 9, 2020, should be immediately appealable. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time to serve his second amended 

complaint (ECF No. 22) is denied as unnecessary; and

2. Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time to file a notice of appeal of the 

court’s January 9, 2020, order (ECF No. 23) is denied.

Dated: February 13, 2020
