Dougal Samuels (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma
pauperis with this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On July 24, 2017, the
Court issued findings and recommendations, recommending that Plaintiff’s section 1983 claim
against Fresno County Board of Supervisors be dismissed, and that the County of Fresno’s
motion to quash service of process be granted. (ECF No. 74).
On August 7, 2017, Plaintiff filed objections to the findings and recommendations, and
a request “for an extension of time in order to make proper service of defendants Fresno
County Board of Supervisor.” (ECF No. 75).1 Plaintiff asks for thirty days so that he can
identify the individual members of the Fresno County Board of Supervisors and substitute them
in place of the Fresno County Board of Supervisors.
The Court will grant Plaintiff thirty days to file additional objections to the findings and
recommendations.

recommendations. The County of Fresno has seven days from the date the objections are filed

in CM/ECF to serve and file a reply to the objections.
