v.
JADDOU UR MENDOZA et al.,
Defendants.

Generally, a plaintiff must serve process on defendants within 90 days of the
filing of the complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). This matter was filed on
February 18, 2023. Dkt. No. 1. More than 90 days have passed since the
complaint in this case was filed, and Plaintiff has not filed a proof of service for
any Defendant. Plaintiff is ordered to show cause, in writing, no later than May
26, 2023, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution.
The Court will consider as an appropriate response to this Order to Show
Cause the filing of proof(s) of service showing that Defendants were served within
the 90-day period or a showing of good cause to extend the service period. Failure
to respond to the Order to Show Cause will be construed as consent to dismissal
and will result in the dismissal of the action in its entirety without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
