ORDER


This case, in which plaintiff is proceeding in propria persona, was referred to the undersigned under Local Rule 72-302(c)(21), pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Plaintiff paid the filing fee and filed his complaint on February 6, 2008. On May 5, 2008, plaintiff submitted a written request for "a 30-day extension." Plaintiff does not explain which deadline he seeks to extend. The court notes that there is nothing on file showing proof of service. The deadline for serving defendants is swiftly approaching. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m). If plaintiff needs additional time to effect service of process, he must specifically ask for it, and show good cause for the extension. See id. Plaintiff has done neither, and it is not even clear that this is the sort of extension he requests.

Accordingly, plaintiff's May 5, 2008, request for a "30-day extension" is denied.

SO ORDERED.
