Ameris Bank v. Quality Towing Service, et al.
PRESENT: THE HONORABLE KAREN E. SCOTT, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
PROCEEDINGS (IN CHAMBERS): Order to Show Cause Why Action Should Not Be Dismissed for Failure to Timely Serve Defendants
Plaintiff Ameris Bank (“Plaintiff”) filed this action on April 30, 2024. (Dkt. 1.) Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) generally requires plaintiffs to serve defendants with process within 90 days after the complaint is filed. Although that 90-day deadline expired on July 29, 2024, Plaintiff has not filed any proof of service as of the date of this order.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that, on or before August 20, 2024, Plaintiff shall show cause why this action should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to timely serve Defendant(s).
