The Ex Parte Application of Plaintiff Trudy G. Hemphill (“Plaintiff” or “Ms. Hemphill”) 

for a ninety day extension of the time in which Plaintiff may effect service on Defendants Personal 

Representative of the Estate of James J. Ryskamp, Jr. (“Personal Representative”), James J. 

Ryskamp, Jr., M.D. Inc. (“Ryskamp Inc.”), James J. Ryskamp, Jr., M.D., Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing 

Plan (“Ryskamp Plan”), and Ryskamp-Takayama 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (“R-T Plan”) is 

GRANTED. Plaintiff has shown good cause pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) 

that an extension of time is needed to effect service upon Defendants Personal Representative, 

Ryskamp Inc., Ryskamp Plan, and R-T Plan. The court finds that Plaintiff has exhibited good 

cause in the delay for service of process because the Personal Representative has not yet been 

appointed by the state probate court and additional time may be required to effect service of 

process of Ryskamp Inc. through the California Secretary of State as ordered herein. 

Plaintiff’s request for an order directing that service be made on Ryskamp Inc. by personal 

delivery to the California Secretary of State, or to any person employed in the California Secretary 

of State’s office in the capacity of assistant or deputy secretary, of the summons and complaint in 

the above-entitled action, together with this order, is hereby GRANTED. The Court finds that 

Plaintiff has used reasonable diligence as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(h) and 

California Code of Civil Procedure § 416.20, in her attempts to serve Ryskamp Inc.. Plaintiff 

engaged in a thorough, systematic investigation and an inquiry conducted in good faith. Vorburg v. 

Vorburg, 18 Cal. 2d 794, 797 (1941); Stern v. Judson, 163 Cal. 726, 736 (1912); Rue v. Quinn, 137 

Cal. 651, 657 (1902). The Court holds that Plaintiff may serve Ryskamp Inc. through the 

procedure provided for in California Corporations Code Section 1702(a). Service may be made on 

Ryskamp Inc. by personal delivery to the California Secretary of State, or to any person employed 

in the California Secretary of State’s office in the capacity of assistant or deputy secretary, of the 

summons and First Amended Complaint in the above-entitled action, together with this order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: 2/23/2006 

/s/ Sandra M. Snyder 

Honorable Sandra M. Snyder
