UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

HERMAN C PEREZ, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-06660-SVK 

ORDER ON PLAINTIFF'S MOTION 

TO EXTEND TIME FOR SERVICE

Re: Dkt. No. 9

Plaintiff’s motion to extend time to serve Defendant Herman C. Perez is untimely. The 

last day to serve was December 17, 2019 (Dkt. 9-1); the instant motion to extend was not filed 

until December 27, 2019. Dkt. 9. However, the Court finds that Plaintiff was diligent in 

attempting to serve within the requisite time frame. Dkts. 9-3, 9-5. Accordingly, the Court finds 

that the interests of justice and judicial economy will best be served by granting a short extension 

for service. As to the length of the extension, the Court is troubled by Plaintiff’s representation 

that it has new information and believes it can serve Defendant “shortly,” yet seeks an overly 

generous extension of 60 days. Dkts. 9, 9-1. In consideration of the foregoing, the Court will 

grant an extension of 30 days from the last date to serve of December 17, 2019. Service on 

Defendant Perez must be completed by January 17, 2020. All other deadlines under General 

Order 56 are extended by 30 days only. 

SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 2, 2020
