v.
MARIA PARK, et al.,

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY
DEFENDANT HALLIGAN SHOULD
NOT BE DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE

Defendants.

13

Plaintiff filed this action on March 26, 2014 seeking a declaration that it owes no duty to

14

defend Defendant Maria Park in an underlying lawsuit pending in Alameda County Superior

15

Court, Joe Halligan v. Maria Park, et. cal., No. HG13694269. In addition to Park, the complaint

16

names Halligan as a defendant; however, no proof of service has been filed as to Halligan.

17

Accordingly, as more than 120 days have elapsed since the filing of the complaint, and plaintiff

18

has not sought an extension of time to serve Halligan, Plaintiff must show cause why Halligan

19

should not be dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). In particular, on or before

20

August 11, 2014, Plaintiff must advise the Court in writing whether it intends to serve Halligan.
