1 2 3 4 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 5 NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 7 BERNARDO ALCARAZ, Plaintiff, 8 9 10 United States District Court Northern District of California 11 Case No. 18-cv-02801-SI v. KMF OAKLAND LLC, ORDER RE: SERVICE OF PROCESS AND RE-SETTING CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE Defendant. 12 13 14 This action was filed on May 11, 2018. Plaintiff Bernardo Alcaraz is representing himself pro se and has paid the necessary filing fees. 15 16 1. Service of Process (Serve Summons and Complaint on Defendant) 17 Plaintiff is notified that Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires that 18 defendants be served with process within ninety days from the filing of the complaint. In this 19 instance, defendant is to be served no later than August 9, 2018. Defendant has not yet made an 20 appearance in this case, and the Court has no indication that plaintiff has served defendant. An 21 initial case management conference in the case is set for August 10, 2018. 22 In light of plaintiff’s pro se status, the Court will EXTEND plaintiff’s deadline to serve 23 the summons and complaint on defendant by an additional sixty days. Plaintiff must serve 24 defendant no later than October 8, 2018. This means that plaintiff will need to obtain a 25 “Summons in a Civil Action” form from the Clerk’s Office or from the Court’s website, and 26 present the summons to the Clerk for signing, sealing, and issuance prior to service of process. If 27 defendants are not served by October 8, 2018, the Court may dismiss this action without prejudice. 28 1 2. Case Management Conference 2 Because it appears that defendant has not yet been served, the Court VACATES the initial 3 case management conference set for August 10, 2018. The initial case management conference 4 is RE-SET for November 9, 2018, at 2:30 p.m. in Courtroom 1, 17th Floor, of the San 5 Francisco courthouse. A joint case management statement is due one week prior to the 6 initial case management conference. 7 8 3.
