EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LONG WAY,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

20 UNKNOWN EMPLOYEES OF FEDERAL

BUREAU OF PRISONS USP−ATWATER,

CALIFORNIA, ET AL.,

 Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:12−CV−00357−AWI−DLB

EX PARTE APPLICATION AND ORDER FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO 

COMPLAINT

Federal Defendants, pursuant to Local Rule 144, submit this ex parte application for an extension 

of time to file a response to the Third Amended Complaint (Dkt. 26). This is the second request for such 

an extension, the Court having granted the first (Dkt. 58) in order to allow service of the remaining 

defendants and facilitate a consolidated response. Because the Court has granted Plaintiff 120 days

(until June 3, 2014) to serve the 18 remaining defendants (Dkt. 74-77), Federal Defendants respectfully 

request an extension from the current consolidated response date of February 24, 2014 to April 24, 

2014. This will allow time for Plaintiff to complete service in accordance with the Court’s orders and 

for Federal Defendants’ counsel to obtain Department of Justice representation approvals for all of the 

defendants. If Plaintiff has not completed service as the April 24 date approaches, Federal Defendants 

will seek another extension.

Plaintiff, Long Way, is an inmate in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons and is 

proceeding in propria persona in this action. Plaintiff’s Third Amended Complaint names 27 individual 

defendants. Nine of these defendants have been served, and the Court has ordered Plaintiff (who is not 

proceeding in forma pauperis) to serve seventeen others by June 3, 2014. Dkt. 75. The Court has 

ordered the United States Marshals Service to attempt service on the one remaining defendant. Dkt. 76. 

Requests for Department of Justice representation for all individuals except for the one defendant not yet 

contacted (Jaime Sanchez) have been submitted and are pending. 

In order to allow time for completion of representation approvals and to facilitate the filing of a 

consolidated response, the undersigned requests an extension until April 24, 2014 for served defendants 

to file a response to the complaint. 

Respectfully submitted,

BENJAMIN B. WAGNER
