ORDER To Show Cause re: Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution (IN
CHAMBERS)

Plaintiffs are ORDERED to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for lack of
prosecution. See Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626 (1962) (court has inherent power to
dismiss for lack of prosecution on its own motion).
Plaintiffs filed their Complaint against Defendant Temecula Valley Unified School
District on August 10, 2014. (Doc. No. 1.) There is no proof of service on file with the Court as
to Defendant. Plaintiffs have failed to file a proof of service within 120 days of filing of the
Complaint. Plaintiffs can satisfy this order by showing that service was effectuated on
Defendant within the 120-day deadline or by showing good cause for failure to do so. See Fed.
R. Civ. P. 4(m).
Plaintiff must respond to this order by January 19, 2015. Failure to respond to this order
will be deemed consent to the dismissal of the action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
