JONATHAN WILLIAM MCKINNEY, Plaintiff, v. CENTRAL INTELLEGENCE AGENCY, Defendant.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF PROSECUTION
Dale S. Fischer, United States District Judge.
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure require a plaintiff to serve process on the defendants within 90 days of the filing of the complaint. Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m). The Court may extend this deadline for good cause. Id. More than 90 days have passed since the complaint in this case was filed, and Plaintiff has not filed a proof of service. Therefore, Plaintiff is ordered to show cause no later than July 14, 2022 why the unserved defendant should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The filing of proof of service showing that the relevant defendant was served within the 90-day period or a showing of good cause for extending the service period constitute adequate responses to this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
