Order to Show Cause re
CENTINELA MEDICAL CENTER, et Dismissal for Lack of
Prosecution
al.
Defendant(s).

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure require a plaintiff to serve process
on the defendants within 90 days of the filing of the complaint. Fed. R. Civ.
P. 4(m). The Court may extend this deadline for good cause. Id. More than
90 days have passed since the complaint in this case was filed, and Plaintiff
has not filed a proof of service for at least one defendant. Therefore,
Plaintiff is ordered to show cause no later than April 16, 2021 why the
unserved defendant(s) should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The
filing of proof(s) of service showing that the relevant defendant(s) was/were
served within the 90-day period or a showing of good cause for extending
the service period constitute adequate responses to this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
