JOSE MANUEL LOPEZ, Plaintiff, v. THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION, ET AL., Defendants.


ORDER-

1. ACCEPTING REPORT AND

RECOMMENDATION; and

2. DENYING PETITIONER'S

REQUEST FOR

CONTINUANCE

The Court has reviewed the file in this matter, and has read and reviewed the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge. Further, the Court has reviewed de novo those portions of the Report to which Plaintiff has objected. The Court accepts the findings and recommendations in the Report.

Within Petitioner's Objections (at 2-3) is his request for a 90-day "extension," meaning a continuance, to permit him to begin long-overdue efforts to serve the several unserved defendants. The Court DENIES that request for lack of good cause.
