(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY COMPLAINT
SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH
COURT ORDER AND/OR PROSECUTE

On November 11, 2014, plaintiff Mike J. Tandy (“Plaintiff”) lodged a complaint
pursuant to the Social Security Act (“Complaint”) and filed a Request to Proceed In
Forma Pauperis (“Request”). [Dkt. No. 1.]
On December 16, 2014, the Court granted Plaintiff’s Request and ordered his
Complaint filed. [Dkt. Nos. 2-3.]
On January 5, 2015, the Court issued a Case Management Order (“CMO”), which
was docketed on January 6, 2015. [Dkt. No. 6.] Therein, the Court ordered Plaintiff to
“promptly serve the summons and complaint” and to “electronically file a proof of
service. . . within twenty-eight (28) days[.]” (CMO at 2.) The Court further warned
Plaintiff that “[f]ailure to comply with this paragraph may result in the dismissal of the
case.”
Now, more than 100 days later, Plaintiff has filed no proof of service. Nor has
Plaintiff requested any extension of time or otherwise communicated with the Court.
Accordingly, within fourteen days of the date of this Order, Plaintiff is
ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, why this action should not be dismissed for
failure to comply with a court order and/or prosecute. Plaintiff shall attempt to show
such cause in writing by filing a declaration signed under penalty of perjury.
