IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
VALDOSTA DIVISION
KAWASAKI MOTORS FINANCE
CORPORATION,
Civil Action 7:12-CV-16 (HL)

Plaintiff,
v.
TIFTON CYCLES, INC., et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER

Plaintiff has responded to the Court’s show cause order dated May 23, 2012.
Plaintiff states that it is still attempting to serve John G. Aldous, the John G. Aldous Living
Trust, Patricia Aldous, the Patricia Aldous Living Trust, Don L. Jones, and Julia Jones.
Plaintiff has requested an additional 60 days to perfect service on these defendants.
Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), if a defendant is not served within 120
days after the complaint is filed, the Court must dismiss the action without prejudice
against that defendant or order that service be made within a specified time. Rather than
dismiss the complaint against the unserved defendants at this time, the Court orders
Plaintiff to perfect service on them on or before July 16, 2012. If Plaintiff determines that
service by publication will be necessary, the Court advises Plaintiff not to wait until July 15
to file the appropriate motion.
SO ORDERED, this the 1st day of June, 2012.
s/ Hugh Lawson
HUGH LAWSON, SENIOR JUDGE
