No. CV 04-1185-PHX-ROS (ECV)

ORDER

Defendants United States Marshals Service (USMS) and Sam Cody have filed a

Motion to Dismiss or Require Service of Process on U.S. Attorney and Attorney General

(Doc. #47). Defendants argue that Plaintiff has failed to comply with Rule 4(i) of the Federal

Rules of Civil Procedure in that he has not sent a copy of the complaint and summons to the

U.S. Attorney or the Attorney General, despite personally serving Defendant Cody. Plaintiff

has filed a Response (Doc. #53) in which he states that he was unaware of the requirements

in Rule 4(i). He asks for additional time to comply with the rule. The court will grant

Plaintiff an additional 30 days to satisfy the requirements of Rule 4(i).

Given Assistant U.S. Attorney James Hair's appearance in this matter, Plaintiff may

satisfy the requirements of Rule 4(i) by sending a copy of the summons and complaint to Mr.

Hair and to the United States Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, 950

Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20530-0001.
