ORDER

Plaintiff originally filed this action on November 3, 2005 (Doc. No. 1). The Court notes that
as of this date, Defendant Jeremy Andrews has not been served (Doc. No. 35 - summons returned,
unexecuted).1 According to FED.R.CIV.P. 4(m), a Defendant must be served within 120 days of the
filing of the Complaint, and after notice to the plaintiff, the Court “must dismiss the action without
prejudice against that Defendant or order that service be made within a specified time...”
Accordingly,
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that unless Plaintiff obtains service over Defendant
Andrews within ten days of the date of this Order, the Court will dismiss him from Plaintiff’s
Complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 9th day of June, 2011.

The Court also notes that although Plaintiff named Defendant Andrews as a Defendant
in his Amended Complaint (Doc. No. 29), he did not specify any particular unconstitutional
actions by him in the body of his Complaint. In addition, the only remaining claim in this case is
the unreasonable strip search claim against Defendant Bailey.
