JOHN HANRAHAN, Plaintiff, v. HONEY SCIENCE LLC et al., Defendants.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: LACK OF PROSECUTION
Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr. United States District Judge
Generally, a plaintiff must serve defendants within 90 days of the filing of their complaint. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m). This matter was filed on September 12, 2022. 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 December 30, 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 (OSC) the filing of proof of service showing that the Defendants were served within the 90-day period or a showing of good cause for extending the service period. Failure to timely respond to this OSC will result in the dismissal without prejudice of the action in its entirety.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
