ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Extend Time to Issue Subpoena
(#36), filed on December 30, 2015.

15

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b) and LR 6, extensions of time may be granted for good cause

16

shown. Plaintiff requests an enlargement of time to effect service of process upon Defendant Cole.

17

Plaintiff argues that his friend, who Plaintiff intended to have issue the subpoena, has misplaced the

18

original subpoena and has failed to remain in contact with Plaintiff. The Court finds that Plaintiff

19

has shown good cause for an extension. Accordingly,

20

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion to Extend Time to Issue Subpoena

21

(#36) is granted. Plaintiff shall have until February 1, 2016 to complete service of process upon

22

Defendant Cole. However, the Court is not ordering the U.S. Marshal to issue the subpoena.

23

Plaintiff has been advised by this Court that his in forma pauperis status does not extend to the

24

issuance of subpoenas at the Government’s expense.

25

DATED this 4th day of January, 2016.
