Plaintiff Gilbert Gray ( “Plaintiff”) instituted this action against Office Depot, Inc., (“Office
17
Depot”), a Georgia corporation, and its agents, Steven Burns (“Mr. Burns”) and Roger Weber (“Mr.
18
Weber”) (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, on
19
April 30, 2012. Notice of Removal, ECF No. 1 at 2, 8. Plaintiff alleges premises liability against
20
Office Depot and general negligence against all Defendants. Id. at 7-8. Plaintiff appears to have
21
served Office Depot and Mr. Burns while the action was in state court, but he does not appear to
22
have served Mr. Weber yet. See generally Gray v. Office, RG12628058. Mr. Burns and Office
23
Depot (collectively, the “Removing Defendants”) removed the action to this court on diversity
24
grounds on December 6, 2012. Notice of Removal, ECF No. 1 at 2.
25
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 4(m) and 81(c)(1) require a plaintiff to serve any defendant
26
who had not been served at the time of removal (such as Mr. Weber) within 120 days of an action
27
being removed. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m), 81(c)(1). Because this action was removed on December 6,
28
2012, Plaintiff has until April 8, 2013 to serve Mr. Weber.
