Case No. 07-CV-0057-WQH (JMA)

ORDER GRANTING REQUEST FOR

EXTENSION OF TIME 

[Doc. No. 50]

On January 25, 2008, Deputy Attorney General Sylvie P.

Snyder filed a declaration and request for extension of time to

comply with the Court’s January 11, 2008 Order, which required

Ms. Snyder to obtain Defendant Torres’ last known contact

information from the California Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation (“CDCR”) and provide this information to the U.S.

Marshal in a confidential memorandum in order to permit service

to be effected upon Torres. See Doc. No. 47. 

According to Ms. Snyder’s declaration, she is in the process

of working with the CDCR’s legal section and the litigation

coordinator at Calipatria State Prison, who are attempting to

obtain authorization from Torres for the CDCR to accept service

on his behalf. Snyder Decl., ¶ 3. Ms. Snyder expects to have a

response from the CDCR and/or the litigation coordinator within

two weeks. Id., ¶ 6. 

Again, the Court’s January 11, 2008 Order required Ms.

Snyder to obtain Defendant Torres’ last known contact information

from the CDCR and provide this information to the U.S. Marshal. 

Thus, the Court’s Order did not contemplate that authorization be

obtained from Defendant Torres for the CDCR to accept service on

his behalf. Although the Court hereby GRANTS the request for a

two week extension of time to comply with its Order, the Court

reiterates that Deputy Attorney General Snyder has been ordered

to obtain Defendant Torres’ last known contact information from

the CDCR and provide this information to the U.S. Marshal in a

confidential memorandum indicating that the summons and complaint

is to be delivered to the specified address. If the CDCR does

not obtain authorization to accept service on behalf of Defendant

Torres, the Deputy Attorney General shall nonetheless fully

comply with the January 11, 2008 Order on or before February 8,

2008. If the Deputy Attorney General is not able to locate an

address for Defendant Torres, she shall file a Declaration with

the Court to that effect by no later than February 8, 2008. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: January 29, 2008
