Case No. C17-509RSL
v.
OLYMPIC COLLECTION, INC., et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER GRANTING IN PART
PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME TO SERVE
DEFENDANTS

This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time to serve
the defendants with the complaint and summons. Dkt. # 16. On June 13, 2017, the Court denied
plaintiff’s motion for entry of default and directed plaintiff to serve defendants with the
complaint and summons within seven days of the date of that order. Plaintiff, proceeding pro se,
requests an extension of the deadline to serve process until June 30, 2017. Because plaintiff
filed this lawsuit on March 31, 2017, the Court is not inclined to grant plaintiff the full extension
that he requests. In light of plaintiff’s pro se status, however, the Court GRANTS the plaintiff’s
request in part. Plaintiff shall serve defendants by June 23, 2017. Defendants shall have twentyone days thereafter to respond to the complaint.
