WHEREAS, on July 6, 20212, District Judge Gardephe entered an Order of Service directing the Clerk of Court to issue summonses as to each defendant and directing Plaintiff to serve a summons and the Complaint on each defendant within 90 days of the issuance of the summonses and advising Plaintiff that failure to do so, or to seek an extension of time, may result in the dismissal of his case for failure to prosecute; and
WHEREAS, on July 6, 2021, the Clerk of Court issued the summonses; and
WHEREAS, on July 6, 2021, Judge Gardephe referred this action to me for general pretrial purposes; and
WHEREAS, on September 14, 2021, I held a telephone conference, for which only Plaintiff appeared, to discuss the status of service; and
WHEREAS, during the September 14, 2021 telephone conference, I reminded Plaintiff that the deadline to serve defendants was October 4, 2021 (90 days from the date the summonses were issued) and Plaintiff indicated that he would seek an extension of that deadline; and
WHEREAS, as of the date of this Order, Plaintiff has not sought any extension.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby Ordered that no later than Tuesday, October 12, 2021, Plaintiff shall file a letter indicating whether he has served each defendant with a summons and Complaint and, if not, setting forth good cause for his failure to do so.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully requested to mail a copy of this Order to the pro se Plaintiff. In addition, a copy of this Order will be emailed to Plaintiff by Chambers.
SO ORDERED.
