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 January 30, 2014, why this action
should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution as to defendants Justin Greenberg, BJG Associates LLC,
Home Retention Services, Inc., CTC Real Estate Services, Stephen Webb, Tiles Webb Kulla & Grant,
QBE Insurance Corporation, and Ryder Ray (collectively, the “Unserved Defendants”). 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 against the Unserved Defendants.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
