Proceedings: IN CHAMBERS—ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS ACTION
SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR LACK OF PROSECUTION
Plaintiff, Rosalba Benigna Bagues, filed a complaint against Defendants Janet
Napolitano, Alejandro Mayorkas, and Robert M. Cowan on March 6, 2013. [Doc. # 1.] Under
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), Plaintiff must serve the complaint, along with the
summons, upon Defendants within 120 days after the date of filing. As of the date of this order,
97 days have passed since the filing of the complaint, yet Plaintiff has filed no proof of service
demonstrating compliance with Rule 4(m).
Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE by no later than July 5, 2013
why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Plaintiff may satisfy this order
either by filing proof of service of the summons and complaint upon Defendants or by
demonstrating that good cause exists to extend the time for service as provided under Rule 4(m).
Failure to respond to the Court’s order will result in dismissal of the action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
