On March 30, 2010, the court ordered the United States Marshal to serve the complaint on two defendants. Service has been effected on defendant Wilbert Thompson, though this defendant has not filed a responsive pleading to date. The Marshal was unable to effect service on defendant Bank of America Home Loans because the name provided on the summons was incorrect. By an order filed October 15, 2010, this court ordered plaintiffs to complete and return to the court, within twenty days, the USM-285 forms which are required to effect service on defendant Bank of America Home Loans. That twenty day period has since passed, and plaintiffs have not responded in any way to the court's order. Additionally, the court notes that this action was filed on January 19, 2010. Thus, the time for service has passed. See Fed. R. Civ.
