   OPINION AND ORDER re: 44 FIRST MOTION to Serve Defendant TARIK JOHNSTON by alternate means filed by Nadim Nimai Kesten; 30 LETTER MOTION for Extension of Time to File Answer addressed to Judge Lewis J. Liman from Cynthia S. A rato dated January 8, 2021, filed by Orchard Enterprises NY, Inc. Plaintiff has not identified any case to the contrary. Thus, because Plaintiff has made no showing that the email address identified is reasonably likely to apprise Johnston of the action, it is not sufficient for Plaintiff to also state that he will make service through Facebook and Instagram. Finally, Plaintiff requests an extension of time in which to effect service. Plaintiff's deadline to effect service exp ired on February 16, 2021. Plaintiff made his motion before that date and has shown good cause for not being able to effect service within that time period and has moved timely to effect service by alternate means. The Court will grant Plaintiff a 30-day extension from the date of this Order -to April 2, 2012 to effect service. See D.R.I., 2004 WL 1237511, at *2. SO ORDERED. ( Service due by 4/2/2021.) (Signed by Judge Lewis J. Liman on 3/3/2021) (va)
