U.S. District Court Chief Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood granted seven clergy sex-abuse accusers up to early April to serve legal documents to three defendants in their lawsuits.

This includes the Capuchin Franciscans and the Congregation of Holy Cross, which are both in Italy, and former Saint Anthony Catholic School teacher Ray Caluag in the Philippines.

“The court finds good cause for and finds defendants will not be prejudiced by the requested extensions,” the judge wrote, granting a two-month extension that takes effect from the date of her Feb. 12 order.
