ROBERT BENYAMINI,

12

Plaintiff,

No. 2:13-cv-01632 JAM DAD P

v.

ORDER

T. MINTON,

15

Defendant.

16
Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

17
18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 27, 2015, the court screened plaintiff’s first amended complaint and

19

determined that service was appropriate on defendant T. Minton. (ECF No. 12.) Accordingly,

20

plaintiff was directed to return, within thirty days, the documents necessary to effect service on

21

these defendants. (Id.) On April 6, 2015, the court received the necessary documents from

22

plaintiff. (ECF No. 13.) On April 21, 2015, the court issued an order directing the United States

23

Marshal to serve defendant Minton. (ECF No. 14.)
Now pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion, filed on May 7, 2015, for a thirty-day

24
25

extension of time to submit the documents necessary to effect service on defendant Minton.

26

(ECF No. 16.) The court is puzzled by plaintiff’s filing since he previously submitted to the court

27

the documents required to effect service.

28

1

Because plaintiff has already submitted the documents to the court that he is now seeking

2

an extension of time to submit, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for a thirty-day

3

extension of time (ECF No. 16) is denied as having been rendered moot.
