United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PUNAOFO TSUGITO TILEI,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS AND 

REHABILITATION, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 12-cv-01688-PJH 

ORDER GRANTING REQUEST FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO SERVE 

DEFENDANT SANCHEZ

Re: Dkt. No. 48

Before the court is plaintiff’s “Request for Extension in Deadline to Serve 

Defendant Sanchez.” Dkt. 48. Per the court’s prior order, service on all defendants was 

due by February 28, 2017. Dkt. 36. However, plaintiff’s counsel informs the court that 

although plaintiff was able to serve “six of the seven named defendants,” he “has not yet 

been able to identify defendant Correctional Officer Sanchez.” Dkt. 48. Plaintiff requests 

“an extension in the deadline to serve Officer Sanchez,” and proposes to serve targeted 

discovery to facilitate the identification of Officer Sanchez at “the earliest possible 

opportunity.” Id.

Good cause appearing, the court hereby GRANTS the request for additional time 

to serve defendant Sanchez. The court will not, however, approve an open-ended 

request. If Sanchez is not served within 60 days, he will be dismissed for failure to serve 

without prejudice. Plaintiff may seek to re-name him as a defendant by motion or 

stipulation should his full identity and location be discovered at a later time.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 1, 2017
