ORDER

This matter is before the court following relator’s response [8] to the court’s order to
show cause [7] as to why service of process has not been effectuated on defendants. Relator’s
counsel represents his concern for judicial efficiency necessitated the delay in service of process.
Specifically, relator does not intend to serve some of the named defendants. Based on the
representation of counsel that this delay will result in a more streamlined cause of action and that
he will promptly effectuate service of process, the court will excuse the delay.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that (1) the amended complaint must be filed with
the court within ten (10) days of this order and (2) service of the amended complaint shall be
made on the remaining defendants without further delay.
SO ORDERED this 5th day of May, 2015.
