IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO

Civil Action No. 13-cv-01651-WJM-MJW
BRIAN RAY KARSTEN,
Plaintiff,
v.
CAMACHO, P.A. and
FIVE JOHN/JANE DOES,
Defendants.
MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe
It is hereby ORDERED that plaintiff’s Motion to Extend Time for Service Upon
John/Jane Doe Defendants Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) (Docket No. 40) is
DENIED. This matter was commenced on June 21, 2013 (Docket No. 1). The court
has given plaintiff up to and including December 3, 2013 to identify the John/Jane Doe
Defendants. The court finds the extension afforded plaintiff is an appropriate and
reasonable period of time under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). In addition, the court finds that
plaintiff has failed to show good cause for a further extension.
It is FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff’s Motion Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
12(f)(2) to Strike Response of AUSA J. Benedict Garcia (Docket No. 43) is DENIED.
Plaintiff seeks an order striking defendants’ reply (Docket No. 42) to the motion to
dismiss (Docket No. 27). The court has reviewed defendants’ reply (Docket No. 43) and
finds that it is not sufficiently redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous to
warrant striking it under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(f).
