THE HONORABLE VALERIE P. COOKE, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE

DEPUTY CLERK:

LISA MANN

REPORTER: NONE APPEARING

COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF(S): NONE APPEARING
COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT(S): NONE APPEARING
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Plaintiff’s motion for permission to file electronically (ECF No. 11) is GRANTED. In
order for plaintiff to file documents electronically, he will be required to register and maintain a
CM/ECF account (www.nvd.uscourts.gov). Plaintiff shall also complete the CM/ECF tutorial
and become familiar with the Electronic Filing Procedures, Best Practices and the Civil Events
Menu that are accessible on this court’s website. Plaintiff is instructed that this order granting
him permission to file on CM/ECF is applicable only to this case.
Plaintiff commenced this action on December 4, 2017 (ECF No. 1). Plaintiff is not
proceeding in forma pauperis (ECF No. 4), and his case is not subject to the screening
requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1915A (ECF No. 12). Plaintiff now seeks a six-motion stay to
proceedings or extension of time to serve his complaint so he can seek an attorney to represent
him in this action (ECF No. 13). The court finds a six-month extension of time to be excessive;
therefore, plaintiff’s motion (ECF No. 13) is GRANTED in part. Plaintiff shall have to and
including August 14, 2018 to properly serve the complaint on the defendants. If plaintiff fails to
complete service by this date, defendants will be dismissed for failure to complete service of
process pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
