Case No. 2:16-cv-00129-JCM-GWF
ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Fourth Motion for Extension of Time to Serve
Defendant Doris Brashford (ECF No. 36), filed on August 16, 2016.

16

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b) and Local Rule 26-4, extensions of time may be granted for

17

good cause shown. Further, Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure – which governs the

18

time limit of service – allows the court to grant an extension of time for service if the plaintiff can

19

show good cause for the failure to timely serve a defendant. Here, the Court finds that Plaintiff has

20

provided sufficient good cause to warrant the requested forty-five (45) day extension. Accordingly,

21

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Fourth Motion for Extension of Time to Serve

22

Defendant Doris Brashford (ECF No. 36) is granted. Plaintiff shall have until October 3, 2016 to

23

effectuate service on Defendant Doris Brashford.

24

DATED this 17th day of August, 2016.
