The ex parte application of Plaintiff, ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (“Ally”) hereby applies ex 

for an order extending by 90 days from November 12, 2015 until February 11, 2016, the time for 

Ally to serve the summons and verified complaint on defendant MICHAEL G. PETERS 

(“Peters”) pursuant to Local Rule 144(c), F.R.C.P. 4(m) and F.R.C.P. 6(b) came on for hearing.

Based on a review of the ex parte application, the memorandum of points and authorities, 

and as attested to in the declarations of Eleanor M. Roman, Rodney Nemitz, Raul Deleon, 

Velious C. Pope, Raimundo Carvahlo and Sandra Huckaby, good cause exists to grant Ally’s 

application and to extend the deadline. Despite diligent efforts since the Complaint was filed on 

July 15, 2015 and the Summons was issued on July 16, 2015 to serve Peters at five different 

addresses and attempts to locate him through his former attorneys, Ally has been unable to locate 

and serve him. On November 5, 2015, Ally retained a private investigator to attempt to locate 

and serve Peters.

Now therefore and GOOD CAUSE APPEARING:

1. Ally’s ex parte application is GRANTED.

2. The deadline for Ally to serve Peters with the Summons and Complaint in this 

action and including also the Order Requiring Joint Status Report, Notice of Availability of 

Magistrate Judge and Consent Form, and Notice of Availability of Voluntary Dispute Resolution 

is hereby extended from November 12, 2015 until February 11, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: November 13, 2015
