In this memorandum, Sean Combs, as the plaintiff, requests the court to grant an extension of time to serve defendants Courtney Burgess, Ariel Mitchell, and Nexstar Media Inc. in the civil lawsuit he filed against them. Combs argues that despite reasonable diligence, he has not yet been able to complete service on all parties within the time allowed under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). His legal team contends that attempts have been made to locate and serve the defendants, and that the delay is not due to neglect or lack of effort but rather logistical challenges in effectuating service.

The memorandum further asserts that granting an extension would serve the interests of justice, especially given the seriousness of the claims Combs has brought against the defendants, which include alleged defamation and other reputational harm. Combs maintains that allowing more time to properly serve the defendants will not prejudice their rights and will ensure the case proceeds on its merits. Therefore, he requests that the court issue an order enlarging the deadline for service to allow for continued efforts to notify all named parties and move the litigation forward.
