UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Juan Matias Torres is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On April 13, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion for an extension of time to file objections to the 

pending Findings and Recommendations issued March 19, 2015, along with a request for waiver of 

the service requirements. (ECF Nos. 40, 41.) 

Good cause having been presented to the Court, Plaintiff’s request to extend the time to file 

objections shall be granted. As to Plaintiff’s request for waiver of the service requirement, Plaintiff is 

advised that he is not required to serve copies of filings on defendants or counsel, as counsel will 

receive service via the court’s electronic filing system. “However, for purposes of application of the 

‘Mailbox Rule,’ see Douglas v. Noelle, 567 F.3d 1103, 1107 (9th Cir. 2009), on all documents filed 

with the Court, the pro se plaintiff must attach a Proof of Service, indicating the date on which the 

filing was turned over to prison authorities.” (ECF No. 3, at ¶ IV.) Thus, Plaintiff was not required to
