Proceedings (In Chambers): Order to Show Cause
Plaintiff filed this civil action on December 1, 2017. The case was randomly assigned to
Judge MacKinnon through the Court’s Magistrate Judge Direct Assignment Program. The program
sets important deadlines by which the parties must decide whether or not to consent to Magistrate
Judge jurisdiction.
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), Plaintiff is required to serve process in this
action within 90 days of commencement of the action, or by March 1, 2018. Plaintiff is also
required by Local Rule 73-2.2 to file a proof of service within ten days of service of the casecommencing documents. However, according to the Court’s review of the docket, no proof of
service has been filed in the action yet, and no defendant has appeared in the action to date.
In order to properly administer the Direct Assignment Program and advance this action in
compliance with this Court’s deadlines, Plaintiff is ORDERED to submit a report regarding the
status of service of process in the action. Plaintiff may discharge this order by filing a statement (not
to exceed 3 pages) plus proof of service of process by or before March 22, 2018. Failure to respond
to this order may lead the Court to dismiss the action for failure to prosecute or to return the case to
the civil wheel for reassignment to a District Judge.
