MEMORANDUM and ORDER
Defendant Trimac Transportation Group, Inc. moved to dismiss plaintiff’s
complaint against defendant Robert Monger on November 17, 2016 (#13), pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(4) and in light of plaintiff’s failure to serve
Monger as of the date of the motion’s filing. Plaintiff responded and requested an
additional 90 days in which to serve Monger because, despite three attempts at serving
him, plaintiff had been unable to do so but was diligently pursuing the matter. Indeed,
defendant Monger was served on December 2, 2016, and he answered the complaint on
December 20, 2016. As a result, plaintiff’s motion is moot.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant’s motion to dismiss is DENIED as
moot.
Dated this 4th day of January, 2017.
