BRADLEY T. PETERSON, Plaintiff, v. JEFFREY WICKHAM, NICK JOHNS, CITY OF BELLEVILLE, STATE OF MICHIGAN, CITY OF ROMULUS, and WAYNE COUNTY, Defendants.
ORDER DISMISSING PLAINTIFF'S CLAIMS AGAINST DEFENDANTS CITY OF ROMULUS AND WAYNE COUNTY FOR FAILURE TO SERVE PURSUANT TO FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 4(M)
LINDA V. PARKER U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE.
On January 2, 2020, Plaintiff filed this civil rights action against Defendants. (ECF No. 1.) The Court has dismissed Plaintiff's claims with prejudice against all defendants, except the City of Romulus and Wayne County. (ECF Nos. 23, 27.) Plaintiff has never served the City of Romulus or Wayne County with a summons or copy of his Complaint.
Therefore, on July 1, 2021, the Court entered an order on July 1, 2021, requiring Plaintiff to show cause as to why his claims against these defendants should not be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). (ECF No. 29.) After receiving a response from Plaintiff, the Court issued an opinion and order on November 2, 2021, giving Plaintiff an additional 30 days to accomplish service. (ECF No. 32.) The Court warned Plaintiff that if he “fail[ed] to complete service and file a certificate of service on the docket within 30 days, the Court may dismiss without prejudice Plaintiff's claims against these defendants without further notice for failure to timely serve.” (Id. at Pg ID 393.)
As of this date, Plaintiff has not filed a certificate of service or otherwise informed the Court that he completed service on the City of Romulus or Wayne County.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's claims against the City of Romulus and Wayne County are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was mailed to counsel of record and/or pro se parties on this date, December 6, 2021, by electronic and/or U.S. First Class mail.
