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.
