ORDER
CLAY D. LAND, U.S. DISTRICT COURT JUDGE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
Plaintiff filed this action on October 25, 2023. More than 90 days have passed, and Plaintiff has not filed a proof of service showing that Defendant has been served with a copy of the summons and complaint. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), if a defendant is not served within 90 days after the complaint is filed, the court, after notice to the plaintiff, must dismiss the action without prejudice against the defendants or order that service be made within a specified time. Accordingly, Plaintiff is ordered to serve Defendant in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by February 14, 2024, and to file proof of that service by February 21, 2024. Failure to do so will result in the dismissal of Plaintiff's complaint against Defendant without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
