(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 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 by June 10, 2024, why this action should
not be dismissed for lack of prosecution as to certain defendant/s.
Alternatively, the Court will consider the following a satisfactory response to the Order to Show Cause:

If a satisfactory response is not timely filed, the matter or the listed defendants will be dismissed for lack of
prosecution. A stipulation to extend dates or a notice of settlement do not constitute a proper response
to this order.
Pursuant to Rule 78 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the court finds that this matter is appropriate for
submission without oral argument.
Plaintiff to serve this order on any non-appearing defendant/s who have been formally served.
