CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:13-CV-290 (MTT)

ORDER
This Court entered an Order on December 20, 2013, instructing the Plaintiff to
advise the Court, no later than January 6, 2014, as to the status of her efforts to serve
the Defendants, and to show cause why her case should not be dismissed pursuant to
Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) for failure to serve the Defendants. (Doc. 3). The Plaintiff did not
respond to the Court’s show cause order. Pursuant to Rule 4(m), the Court, after notice
to the Plaintiff, must dismiss the action without prejudice if the Defendant is not served
within 120 days after the complaint is filed, unless the Plaintiff shows good cause for the
failure or the Court, in its discretion, extends the time for service without a showing of
good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).
The Plaintiff, having failed to respond to the Court’s show cause order, has made
no showing of good cause. Further, the Court finds no other circumstances warrant an
extension of time. Accordingly, the Plaintiff’s complaint is DISMISSED without
prejudice.
SO ORDERED, this the 27th day of January, 2014.
