On March 9, 2018, Plaintiff Cynthia Thayer filed the instant complaint. To date, no proof

of service of the summons and complaint has been filed. “If a defendant is not served within 90

14

days after the complaint is filed, the court – on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff –

15

must dismiss the action without prejudice against that defendant or order that service be made

16

within a specified time.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).

Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 4(m), the Court ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause, in writing

18

and no later than June 21, 2018, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to serve within

19

the time required by Rule 4(m). Notice is hereby provided that failure to file a written response

20

will be deemed an admission that Plaintiff does not intend to prosecute, and the case will be

21

dismissed without prejudice. Thus, it is imperative that the Court receive a written response by

22

the deadline above.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
