Dahee Choo v. Monty Wilkinson et al.
PRESENT: THE HONORABLE STANLEY BLUMENFELD, JR., U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Proceedings: [In Chambers] ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: LACK OF PROSECUTION
Generally, plaintiffs must serve process on defendants within 90 days of the filing of the complaint. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m). This matter was filed on December 8, 2021. Dkt. No. 1. More than 90 days have passed since the complaint in this case was filed, and Plaintiff has not filed a proof of service for any defendant. Plaintiff is ordered to show cause, in writing, no later than May 16, 2022 why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution.
The Court will consider as an appropriate response to this Order to Show Cause the filing of proof(s) of service showing that the relevant defendant(s) was/were served within the 90-day period or a showing of good cause for extending the service period. Failure to respond to the Order to Show Cause will result in the dismissal without prejudice of the action in its entirety.
