17

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), a plaintiff normally has 120 days from the filing of the

18

complaint to serve the complaint and summons on a defendant. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). This means

19

that in this case Plaintiffs had until Thursday, November 20, 2014 to serve Defendants. Fed. R. Civ.

20

P. 4(m), 6(a)(1)(C). On October 29, 2014, the undersigned reminded Plaintiffs of Federal Rule of

21

Civil Procedure 4(m) and of their need to serve Defendants by November 20, 2014, and ordered

22

them to thereafter file proof of service of the executed summonses. See Order, ECF No. 10. To

23

date, Plaintiffs have filed no proof that Defendants have been served. See generally Docket.

Accordingly, the court ORDERS Plaintiffs to show good cause, in writing and by December 11,

25

2014, why their action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Failure to do so will result

26

in dismissal of the action without prejudice.
