Order to Show Cause re Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution
(IN CHAMBERS)
On December 22, 2023, Plaintiff Latanya Williams (“Plaintiff”) filed a complaint against
Defendants Morenos Tires, Inc., Ramiro Torres (“Defendants”), and Does 1 through 10,
inclusive. (“Complaint,” Dkt. No. 1.)
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.
Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 4(m). Generally, defendants must answer the complaint within 21 days after
service (60 days if the defendant is the United States). Fed R. Civ. Proc. 12(a)(1).
Here, it appears that one or more of these time periods has not been met as no proof of
service has been filed. Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, orders Plaintiff to show cause
in writing on or before April 5, 2024, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of
prosecution. Pursuant to Rule 78 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court finds that
this matter is appropriate for submission without oral argument. The Order to Show Cause will
stand submitted upon the filing of proofs of service on or before the date upon which a response
by Plaintiff is due. Failure to adequately respond to this order may result in the dismissal of this
case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
