Estrada v. Sullivan 22NWCV01523

Plaintiff's Ex Parte Application for Extension of Time to Serve the Complaint is DENIED. "The complaint must be served on all named defendants and proofs of service on those defendants must be filed with the court within 60 days after the filing of the complaint." (CRC Rule 3.110(b).) "An application for a court order extending the time to serve a pleading must be filed before the time for service has elapsed. The application must be accompanied by a declaration showing why service has not been completed, documenting the efforts that have been made to complete service, and specifying the date by which service is proposed to be completed." (CRC Rule 3.110(e).)  Here, service was made on the last day within the 60 day period (February 6), but proofs of service have not been filed with the court.  Plaintiff offers no explanation for the delay in filing proofs of service.  Plaintiff filed the application for extension of time on February 14, 2023.  The application is untimely.  The deadline for filing an application for extension of time was February 6.    

Court Clerk to give notice.
