UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ex rel. 

RICHARD RICKS, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

MENLO WORLDWIDE GOVERNMENT 

SERVICES, LLC, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:13-cv-0539-KJM-AC 

ORDER 

On May 22, 2015, the United States applied for an order extending the deadline to 

decide whether to intervene and to extend the seal on the qui tam amended complaint. ECF No. 

21. This is the fifth such request. Good cause appearing, the ex parte application is granted. The 

United States is allowed an extension of time to November 23, 2015, to notify the court of its 

decision regarding intervention. The seal on the qui tam action is likewise extended. However, 

given the multiple requests, the court orders the United States to include a detailed explanation of 

good cause in any future requests for extensions. U.S. ex. rel. Costa v. Baker & Taylor, Inc., 955 

F. Supp. 1188, 1190-91 (N.D. Cal. 1997)). 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: June 8, 2015.
