ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

SAHIN ACKA, et al.,
Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

This matter is currently scheduled for a Case Management Conference on September 20,

13

2018. However, there is no indication that Plaintiff Luis Ledezma served any of the named

14

defendants. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4 provides: “If a defendant is not served within 90

15

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

16

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

17

within a specified time.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(l). Accordingly, the Court VACATES the September

18

20, 2018 Case Management Conference and ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause, in writing and no

19

later than September 27, 2018, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to serve within

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

above. No chambers copy is required.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
