ORDER 
 
THIS MATTER is before the Court upon Plaintiff’s Motion For Extension of Time to 
Serve Process (ECF No. 4).  This order is issued without necessity of response.  
Plaintiff seeks to extend the deadline for serving effectuating service of the Complaint 
and Summon upon Defendants.  As stated by Plaintiff, it has attempted to effectuate service 
since May 17, 2020, but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and recent civil unrest permeating 
the mainland United States, has been unable to do so.     
In determining whether an extension is appropriate, Plaintiff must demonstrate good 
cause.  “Courts consider three factors in assessing good cause: (1) reasonableness of 
plaintiff’s efforts to serve, (2) prejudice to the defendant by lack of timely service, and (3) 
whether plaintiff moved for an enlargement of time to serve.”  Prentice v. OfficeMax North 
America, Inc., Civil No. 1:13-56, 2020 WL 1861654, at *2 (D.V.I. Apr. 13, 2020) (internal 
citations omitted).  The Court finds that Plaintiff has demonstrated good cause, warranting
