23NWCV01706 ANTONIO FERNANDEZ vs 10032 PARAMOUNT, LLC

Plaintiff applies to extend the deadline to file and serve defendant.

Plaintiff's Ex Parte Application for Extension of Time to Serve Pleading and for an Order Extending time to serve is DENIED.  "The complaint must be served on all named defendants and proofs of service on those defendants must be filed with the court with 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, the deadline to serve Defendants was August 1, 2023 (Davenport Decl., Par. 3), but the application was filed on August 11, 2023, after the time for service has elapsed.  Moving Party to give notice.
