(In Chambers) Order to Show Cause Why Case Should Not Be Dismissed
for Failure to Effect Service

On February 9, 2018, plaintiff filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 against defendants David A. Williams, G. Jacqueline Pelaze, and the Superior
Court of California, County of San Bernardino Fontana Courthouse. On February 12,
2018, the court issued its Initial Civil Rights Case Order and Notice of Time Limit for
Serving Complaint in this matter. The Order advised plaintiff that the summons and
complaint must be served on each named defendant in accordance with Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 4(m) by May 10, 2018, and specifically ordered that a proof of such
service must be filed with the court not later than May 17, 2018. The court warned
plaintiff that failure to comply with this requirement may result in the dismissal of any
unserved defendants.
To date, the court has not received a proof of service on any defendant. Nor has
plaintiff requested or obtained an order from the court granting an extension of time to do
so. It appears now that plaintiff has violated the court’s order and is not properly
prosecuting this action.
Accordingly, plaintiff is ORDERED to show cause in writing by June 13, 2018
why this case should not be dismissed without prejudice for plaintiff’s failure to
prosecute and serve defendants within the required time period, as directed in the Initial
Civil Right Order. Plaintiff may discharge this Order to Show Cause by filing, not later
than June 13, 2018, proof of service of the summons and complaint.
