JOSE LUIS MENDOZA, et al., Plaintiffs, v. ANGELO JOSEPH GIORDANO, et al., Defendants.
ORDER [DOCKET NO. 15]
NANCY J. KOPPE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs' affidavit in support of an order extending the time to effectuate service. Docket No. 11. Extensions of the service deadline are obtained by showing good cause and such extensions may be provided even without such a showing. Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m). Plaintiffs' motion to extend is GRANTED. The deadline to effectuate service is EXTENDED to November 1, 2023.
This affidavit appears to actually be a motion, so it was filed using the incorrect docketing event. See Local Rule 2-2(b). The motion also relies incorrectly on the state rule regarding the deadline to effectuate service. Plaintiffs brought suit in this federal court. Counsel must familiarize himself with the rules and procedures of this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
