Defendant.

This action was referred to the undersigned pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(21). Pursuant
17
to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) in effect when this action was filed, the court may
18
dismiss an action where service of summons is not made within 120 days after the filing of the
19
complaint.1 In the order requiring timely service filed December 2, 2015, plaintiff was cautioned
20
that this action may be dismissed if service was not timely completed. This action was filed
21
August 12, 2015 and plaintiff has not yet served defendant with summons. On March 17, 2016,
22
plaintiff was ordered to show cause, within fourteen days, why his action should not be dismissed
23
for failure to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). Plaintiff was warned that failure
24
to timely file the required writing would result in a recommendation that the case be dismissed.

days. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) (December 1, 2015 amendments). Although it is generally the case
that the current rules are to be applied, the undersigned exercises his discretion to use the rule in
effect at time of filing.

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days

and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified
10
time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153
