through 3. In that order, the Court forwarded Plaintiff the necessary service of process documents for

completion and return to the Court within thirty days. To date, Plaintiff has failed to comply with the

24

order. The October 23, 2014, order, specifically warned Plaintiff “[t]he failure to comply with this

25

order will result in dismissal of this action.” (ECF No. 24, 3:7.)

Accordingly, Plaintiff is HEREBY ORDERED to show cause within thirty (30) days from the
date of service of this order why this action should not be dismissed as a sanction against him for
