its order setting the mandatory scheduling conference to occur on July 25, 2012. (Doc. 7) In its order

20

setting the mandatory scheduling conference, the Court advised counsel:
The Court is unable to conduct a scheduling conference until defendants have been
served with the summons and complaint. Accordingly, plaintiff(s) shall diligently
pursue service of summons and complaint and dismiss those defendants against whom
plaintiff(s) will not pursue claims. Plaintiff(s) shall promptly file proofs of service of
the summons and complaint so the Court has a record of service. Counsel are referred
to F.R.Civ.P., Rule 4 regarding the requirement of timely service of the complaint.
Failure to timely serve summons and complaint may result in the imposition of
sanctions, including the dismissal of unserved defendants.
