Order to Show Cause Re: Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution

Absent a showing of good cause, an action must be dismissed without prejudice if the summons
and complaint are not served on a defendant within 120 days after the complaint is filed. Fed. R. Civ. P.
4(m).
In the present case, it appears that this time period has not been met. Accordingly, the court, on
its own motion, orders plaintiff to show cause in writing on or before June 15, 2011, why this action
should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution as to defendant Marketrange, Inc. Pursuant to Rule 78
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the court finds that this matter is appropriate for submission
without oral argument. The Order to Show Cause will stand submitted upon the filing of plaintiff’s
response. Failure to respond to this Order may result in the imposition of sanctions, including but not
limited to dismissal of the complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
