UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

NORA BRAYSHAW,

Defendant.

No. 2:22–cv–1859–KJN

ORDER

In October 2022, plaintiff, the United States of America, filed claims against defendant for 

collection of penalty assessments for the alleged willful failure to timely file a foreign bank 

account report under 31 U.S.C. §§ 5321(a)(5) & (b)(2).1

 (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff asserts it has 

been unable to effectuate service on defendant, alleging she has engaged in a pattern of behavior 

that indicates she is actively attempting to evade service. (ECF No. 9.) Plaintiff has moved for 

leave to serve Defendants by publication pursuant to Cal. R. Civ. P. § 415.50, which is 

incorporated and made applicable to this proceeding by Rule 4(e)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure. In addition, the United States has moved for an extension of time from April 17, 

2023, to June 16, 2023, in order to properly effect service of process. The court took the matter 

under submission without a hearing due to defendant’s failure to timely file opposition. (ECF No. 

1

 This action proceeds before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and E.D. Cal. 

Local Rule 302(c)(21).
