Case No. 06-00514 OWW/LJO 

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND 

TIME TO SERVE SUMMONS AND 

COMPLAINT 

 The parties stipulate to extend the time for plaintiff to serve the summons and complaint. 

The proposed new date by which service would be effected is July 28. 

This civil matter, as this Court knows, ties into the indictments and criminal complaint 

against Thunder Rector and Raylene Eidson. The United States of America v. Thunder Thomas 

Rector, No. 1:05-CRC242 OWW ALL.

This Court has continued the defendants’ motion to dismiss (the motion is based upon the 

recent United States Supreme Court’s decision in the Gonsales v. O Centro Espirita Beneficiente 

Uniao Do Vegetal et al., No. 04-1084, 126 S. Ct. 1211; 163 L. Ed. 2d 1017; 2006 U.S. LEXIS 

1815; 74 U.S.L.W. 4119) until July 18, 2006. Since this civil complaint, an effort to protect 

witnesses who might testify in the criminal case from prosecution, will only be prosecuted if the 

criminal matter goes to trial, it would be a waste of judicial time and resources and the parties’ 

time and resources to serve it now. It makes more sense to wait until this Court rules upon the 

motion to dismiss. After that ruling the parties will be in a better position to address the issues 

raised in this civil complaint and for plaintiffs to arrange for service. 

In stipulating to the above extended period of time by which plaintiff must serve 

defendants with their complaint in this action, defendants do not waive any of plaintiff’s service 

requirements as set forth within the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
