PROCEEDINGS (IN CHAMBERS):

Order to Show Cause Why Action Should
Not Be Dismissed for Failure to Timely
Serve Defendants

Plaintiff James Lee (“Plaintiff”) filed this action on June 1, 2021. (Dkt. 1.) Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 4(m) generally requires plaintiffs to serve defendants with process within 90
days after the complaint is filed. Although that 90-day deadline expired on August 30, 2021,
Plaintiff has not filed any proof of service as of the date of this order.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that, on or before September 21, 2021, Plaintiff shall
show cause why this action should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to timely serve
Defendants.
