[In Chambers] 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 90 days (120 days prior to December 1, 2015) after
the complaint is filed. Fed.R.Civ.Proc. 4(m). Generally, defendants must answer the complaint within
21 days after service (60 days if the defendant is the United States). Fed.R.Civ.Proc. 12(a)(1).
In the present case, it appears that one or more of these time periods has not been met.
Accordingly, the court, on its own motion, orders plaintiff(s) to show cause in writing on or before July
11, 2016 why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution as to defendant
Michelangelo Leasing, 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.
