UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CRAIG D. NELSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

________________________________/

No. C 04-3833 JL

ORDER FOR SERVICE

James Hunt Miller, attorney for plaintiff, submitted a sworn declaration to the court that 

on September 19, 2004, he filed a complaint in this matter and apparently received, among

other documents, an endorsed and stamped summons from Cynthia

Lenahan, Deputy Clerk, for service upon Defendant. At some point after that, he lost or

misplaced the summons, without having served it. Because of this, Mr. Miller needs a

replacement of the summons to accomplish service.

The service of summons had not been calendared, apparently with the

expectation that service was expected to have been accomplished nearly immediately.

Because of these problems, which have been addressed in counsel’s office with new

rules about calendaring, service was not accomplished within the 120 days given in

F.R.Civ.P. 4(m) .
