ORDER
MARY KAY VYSKOCIL, United States District Judge
A review of Court records indicates that the Complaint in this action was filed on April 16, 2020 [ECF No. 1], and that no proof of service of the summons and Complaint has been filed. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) provides:
If a defendant is not served within 90 days after the complaint is filed, the court - on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff - must dismiss the action without prejudice against that defendant or order that service be made within a specified time. But if the plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the court must extend the time for service for an appropriate period.
Plaintiff is directed to serve the summons and Complaint on Defendant on or before August 26, 2021. If service has not been made on or before August 26, 2021, and if Plaintiff fails to show cause, in writing, why service has not been made, the Complaint will be dismissed for failure to prosecute, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 4 and 41.
SO ORDERED.
