The action proceeds on plaintiff's November 28, 2007 amended complaint. On June 5, 2008, process was returned unexecuted because defendant Muller could not be located. On June 13, 2008, the court directed plaintiff to discover defendant Muller's whereabouts and gave him time to submit papers to again attempt service of process on defendant Muller. Plaintiff failed to comply with that order and on October 2, 2008, the court gave plaintiff 90 additional days to submit the information necessary to serve defendant Muller. The court warned plaintiff that failure to comply with this order would result in a recommendation that claims against defendant Muller be dismissed. The 90 day period given by the court's October 2, 2008 order has passed and plaintiff has not returned the USM-285 form necessary to effect service on defendant Muller or otherwise
