Jane Doe seeks extension or alternative service methods for defendant

Jane Doe filed a motion on March 31, 2025, seeking more time to serve the defendant or, alternatively, permission to serve by alternative means. The motion includes a proposed order and was submitted by attorney Meagan Hassan. The court has not yet assigned a judge to the case, and the docket number remains unknown.

The motion reflects Doe's difficulty in completing service within the standard timeframe, a critical step to move the case forward. Without proper service, the court cannot exercise jurisdiction over the defendant, which stalls all substantive proceedings.

The motion asks the court to extend the deadline for service or allow alternative methods, such as service by email or publication, which courts sometimes permit when traditional service is impracticable. The case remains active but in a preliminary phase, with no other substantive filings reported.

The outcome of this motion will determine whether Doe can proceed with the lawsuit or faces dismissal for failure to serve. The court's decision will clarify the procedural path and set the pace for future litigation steps.
