DECISION AND ORDER
The plaintiffs, in the above-entitled action, have not effected service of process within the time required by Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m), and the defendants have not waived service under Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(d).

The Court has not received any communication in response to its letter and, pursuant to E.D. Wis. Civil L.R. 41.1, retains the power to dismiss actions where plaintiffs fail to properly effect service in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
THEREFORE, BASED ON THE FOREGOING, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT
The above-entitled action is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice.
SO ORDERED.
