ORDER: Plaintiff shall file a letter no longer than three pages on or before February 6, 2025, describing Plaintiff's efforts to serve Plaintiff's complaint and a summons on each Defendant.

The Court will not extend the deadline for Plaintiff to file the letter required by this order unless Plaintiff requests an extension in accordance with Section I.D of the Court's Individual Practices. Ordered by Judge Hector Gonzalez on 1/16/2025. (RCM)
