NOTICE TO PRO SE LITIGANTS IN NON-PRISONER ACTIONS:

19

If you are proceeding in this lawsuit without an attorney, and have not been

20

granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, then the following directives apply to

21

you in the prosecution of your case.

22

The court hereby ORDERS you to comply with the service requirements of

23

Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as set forth below. Failure to follow

24

the procedures set forth in this order may result, under Rule 4 (m), in dismissal of

25

your case.

26

It is your responsibility to obtain a valid summons from the clerk and to

27

effect service of the summons and complaint on all defendants in accordance with

28

2

Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. If you have named the United States
1

government, a federal agency, a federal official or a federal employee as a

2

defendant, you must comply with the special requirements of Rule 4 (i).

3

Service may be effected by any person who is not a party and who is at least

4

18 years of age, which means that you, as a party, may not effect service. If service

5

of the summons and complaint is not made upon a defendant within 120 days after

6

the filing of the complaint, your action will, under Rule 4 (m), be dismissed as to that

7

defendant.

8

Within 125 days after the filing of the complaint, you must file proof
of service indicating which defendants were served within the 120 days allowed

9

under Rule 4 (m) and showing, in accordance with Rule 4 (i), how each of those

11

defendants was served (for example, by attaching appropriate certificates of

12

service). You must also show cause why a defendant not served within the 120

13

days allowed under Rule 4 (m) should not be dismissed without prejudice.

14
15

Failure to do these things within the designated time will result in the
dismissal of your case under Rule 4 (m) and Rule 41 (b).
