This matter comes before the Court for case management purposes. There is no evidence

the Court hereby ORDERS the plaintiff to SHOW CAUSE on or before December 31, 2013, why
this case should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to timely effect service. Failure to
respond in a timely manner to this order will result in dismissal of this action.
The Court further GRANTS the motion for leave to withdraw as counsel and substitute
new counsel (Doc. 16). The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to remove Carina C. Federico and add
Karen A. Smith as counsel for the defendant United States.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
