Jeff Jinkins v. Henry Hornsveld et al

Filing 10

(IN CHAMBERS) - ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF PROSECUTION by Judge Dolly M. Gee. 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. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). Generally, defendant must answer the complaint within 21 days after service (60 days if the defendant is the United States). In the present case, it appears that these time periods have not b een met. Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, orders plaintiff(s) to show cause in writing on or before March 13, 2017 why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. No oral argument of this matter will be heard unless order ed by the Court. The Order will stand submitted upon the filing of a written response on or before the date upon which a response by plaintiff(s) is due. This action will be dismissed if a written response demonstrating good cause is not filed by the date indicated above. (clee)
