(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: FAILURE TO SERVE
SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

On January 26, 2018, Maria Medrano Alfaro (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se and in forma
pauperis, filed a Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) requires defendants to be served within 90 days after the complaint
is filed. More than 90 days have passed since the Complaint in this action was filed, and there
is no indication on the docket that Defendants have been properly served with the summons
and complaint. Moreover, it does not appear that Plaintiff has requested to have the required
summons issued by the clerk.
Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing on or before June 5,
2018, why this case should not be dismissed 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 no
later than June 5, 2018, which demonstrates proper service.
The Court advises Plaintiff that failure to serve the summons and complaint and file the
proof of service on or before June 5, 2018, may result in dismissal of this action for failure
serve and failure to prosecute.
