REQUEST TO EXTEND TIME FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS

GEORGE FOLEY, JR., Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff International Institute of Management, by and through its counsel, Michael C. Mills, Esq., of Bauman Loewe Witt & Maxwell, PLLC, and Tamra Ferguson, Esq. (pro hac vice), hereby request this Court for an extension of time to effectuate service on the above named Defendant Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (hereinafter OECD). Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 6(b)(1) provides that "when an act may or must be done within a specific time, the court may, for good cause shown, extend the time."

Plaintiff has served Defendant Joseph Stiglitz.

Plaintiff has attempted service of this Defendant at the address identified on its web site at OECD Washington Center, 1776 I Street, N.W., Suite 450, Washington D.C. 20006.

Service at that address was refused and Defendant's process server was informed that Defendant does not have an agent for service of process in the United States. Defendant's process server was informed that OECD would need to be served at its headquarters in Paris, France. Plaintiff anticipates that effectuating service of process will be through the Hague Authority process which will take significantly longer than is customary, and accordingly requests this Court extend the deadline for service of process for one hundred twenty days (120).

ORDER

The Court having reviewed Plaintiff International Institute of Management's Request to Extend Time for Service of Process, and for good cause appearing:

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff shall have an additional one hundred twenty (120) days up to and through April 8, 2019 to effectuate service of process on Defendant OECD in the above captioned matter.
