v. No. 3:25-cv-60-DPM
ANDREW WYLES, in his individual and official capacity as Chief of Police for the City of Gosnell; STEVEN MILLIGAN, in his individual and official capacity as Principal of Gosnell School District; and GOSNELL SCHOOL DISTRICT DEFENDANTS
ORDER King moves for more time to serve Milligan, up to 1 June 2025. That motion, Doc. 8, is denied without prejudice as moot. This case was removed from the Mississippi County Circuit Court on 25 March 2025. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), the 90-day service period “runs from the date of removal, not the date the plaintiff filed the petition in state court.” Taylor v. Clark Equipment Co.,
2022 WL 1640372, at *6 (E.D. Mo. 24 May 2022) (collecting cases); see also 4B Charles Alan Wright, Arthur R. Miller & Adam N. Steinman, Federal Practice and Procedure § 1137 (4th ed. 2015) (same);
28 U.S.C. § 1448. King therefore has until 23 June 2025 to obtain good service on Milligan. No extension is needed. So Ordered. AID? Jarslo Ll a D.P. Marshall Jr. United States District Judge 21 April 2025
