Gardephe issued an order of service, directing Plaintiff to serve the summons and complaint on each defendant within 90 days of the issuance of the summonses. The Clerk's Office issued the summonses and mailed an information package to Plaintiff on February 5, 2020. The Court notified Plaintiff that failure to serve the defendants or request an extension of time to do so may result in dismissal of Plaintiff's claims under Rules 4 and 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to prosecute. To date, Plaintiff has not filed proof of service and no defendants have appeared.
Plaintiff is directed to file a letter with the Court by no later than Monday, July 20, 2020, informing the Court of the status of this case. Failure to demonstrate good cause for the delay in prosecuting this case may result in dismissal of the action.

SO ORDERED.
