Plaintiff Derek Russell filed this action on March 24, 2015. (Dkt. No. 1.) Pursuant to Rule

13
14

4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff has 120 days to complete service of the

15

complaint and summons on Defendant, such that July 22, 2015 was the last day to complete

16

service or to file a Motion for Administrative Relief from the deadline pursuant to Civil Local

17

Rule 7-11. The Case Management Conference (“CMC”) originally scheduled for June 23, 2015

18

was continued to September 22, 2015, because Defendant had not been served 7 days prior to the

19

original CMC date. (Dkt. No. 6.)
Accordingly, the Court orders Plaintiff to show cause why this case should not be

20
21

dismissed for failure to comply with the deadline to complete service on Defendant or to file a

22

Motion for Administrative Relief. Plaintiff shall file a written response to this order to show cause

23

by August 17, 2015. Failure to file a response to this order may result in the dismissal of this

24

action for failure to prosecute.
