Civil No. 2:06-CV-00249-LKK-DAD

EX PARTE REQUEST TO CONTINUE

PRETRIAL SCHEDULING CONFERENCE

AND RELATED DATES and ORDER

The United States requests that the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference presently

set for April 17, 2006, be continued to a date 60 days later. In addition, the United States

seeks an additional 60 days in which to attempt service of the summons and complaint on one

defendant. The United States filed the complaint in this case on February 6, 2006, and

promptly sent the summons and complaint out for service on February 9, 2006. The Revenue

Officer assigned has determined that one of the defendants (Robert Perkins) died and the

Revenue Officer was not able to locate Jean Perkins. We may be able to find the defendant

with additional effort, as she is said to be living with (unidentified) relatives in California. 

Since the defendant has not been served, the United States suggests that a scheduling

conference is premature at this time. The United States requests an order continuing the

scheduling conference and the time to serve the defendant for an additional 60 days.
