ORDER

JAMES A. TEILBORG, Distgrict Judge.

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for extension of time to serve the Defendants located in Korea. As the Court has already recounted, Plaintiff has not been exercising diligence in serving the various Defendants located in foreign countries. (Doc. 50). In this particular motion (Doc. 54), including the supplement required by the Court (Doc. 56), Plaintiff failed to explain why the documents required for service in Korea were not transmitted to the Korea authorities until September 11, 2017, when this case has been pending in federal court since June 23, 2017. Moreover, this case was removed to federal court. Plaintiff actually filed this case in state court on May 22, 2017 and could have begun the procedures for serving as early as May. Thus, the Plaintiff has offered no cause why Plaintiff did not attempt service between May 22, 2017 and September 11, 2017.

In the court-ordered status report Plaintiff filed on August 1, 2017, Plaintiff stated that it would need four months to serve the Defendants located in Korea. As a result, on August 7, 2017, the Court set a service deadline of October 23, 2017 (Doc. 22), four months from when then case was filed in federal court. In neither the status report nor in any motion for reconsideration or clarification, did Plaintiff advise the Court in August that Plaintiff had done nothing to begin the four month process for completing service; and, thus, it would be impossible to meet the Court's deadline.

Additionally, service was rejected by the Korean authorities because Plaintiff transmitted the original complaint, not the amended complaint. However, in reality, the operative complaint in this case is actually the Third Amended Complaint. Plaintiff has not shown good cause or excusable neglect explaining which of the four versions of the complaint was actually sent and why Plaintiff did not send the correct version.

The Korean authorities rejected the service on September 27, 2017. Plaintiff claims to have not received notice of this until October 19 or 20, 2017. On October 23, 2017, (the deadline to complete service) Plaintiff filed the currently pending motion for more time. In the motion, Plaintiff seeks an additional five month (until March 19, 2018) to complete service-1 week to have the correct documents translated, 4 months to serve the documents, and 3 weeks which are unexplained.

On this record, the Court will grant one further extension of time. However, there will be no further extensions of this deadline. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion (Doc. 54) is granted to the limited extent that Plaintiff has until March 5, 2018 to serve the Defendants located in Korea.1 Proof of service must be filed no later than March 6, 2018 or these Defendants will be dismissed.
