Order to Show Cause Re: Failure to Serve Summons and
Complaint and Failure to Prosecute

On May 7, 2018, Plaintiff Leuvina Henry (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se, filed a Complaint.
(“Complaint,” ECF No. 1.)
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) requires defendants to be served within ninety days
after a complaint is filed. Over ninety days have passed since the Complaint in this action was filed,
and there is no indication on the docket that the following Defendants have been properly served
with the summons and Complaint: Deputy Sheriff Angeles, County of Riverside, Johnnie L. Baker
Jr.,1 Tara Abrams, Megafunding, Inc., Jurapa Community, Southern California Edison, and Southern
California Gas Company (collectively, “Defendants”).
Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing on or before
November 13, 2018, why this case should not be dismissed against Defendants for failure to serve
the summons and Complaint and failure to prosecute this action.
Plaintiff may discharge this order to show cause by obtaining the required summons,
properly serving the summons and Complaint on all Defendants, and filing a proof of service that
demonstrates proper service, no later than November 13, 2018.

Johnnie L. Baker, Jr. is listed twice as a Defendant in the Complaint caption. It is unclear whether
