No. 2:16-cv-1196 AC

Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS

SACRAMENTO COUNTY JAIL, et al.,
Defendants.

16
17

Plaintiff, through his counsel, brought this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action on June 1, 2016. ECF

18

No. 1. He paid the full filing fee on that date. Id. On May 19, 2017, the court determined that it

19

was not required to screen plaintiff’s complaint, plaintiff was not entitled to rely on the United

20

States Marshal for service, and that service had not been effected within 90 days of the

21

complaint’s filing as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). ECF No. 3. The court

22

directed plaintiff to effect service on the defendants within twenty-one days and, failing that, to

23

show cause why this action should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to serve. Id.

24

That deadline has passed and there is no indication, to date, that service on any of the

25

defendants has been executed. Nor has plaintiff submitted any filing indicating what steps he has

26

taken to serve the defendants or why time for service should be extended. Accordingly, the court

27

will recommend dismissal of the defendants without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

28

Procedure 4(m). Plaintiff shall have a final opportunity, by way of his objections (should he
1

1
2

choose to file any), to show cause as to why his failure to serve should be excused.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that, in light of the fact that plaintiff has not consented to

3

magistrate judge jurisdiction, the Clerk of Court shall assign a district judge to rule on these

4

findings and recommendations.

5

Additionally, it is RECOMMENDED that:

6

1.

7

Defendants Sacramento County Jail, Sacramento Sheriff, and Sacramento Jail

Medical be DISMISSED without prejudice.

8

2.

9

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge

10

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

11

after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written

12

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned

13

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Failure to file objections

14

within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Turner v.

15

Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

16
17

The Clerk of Court be directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERD.
