IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
JOHN V. HALTOM,
Plaintiff,

8:15-CV-428

vs.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
KAREN PARKS, et al.,
Defendants.
Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m), the Court may dismiss defendants not
served within 90 days "on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff."
Nine defendants in this case have not appeared and have not been served,
over two years since it was filed: Christine Jones, Jane Prine, and seven
unnamed defendants. See filing 6.
No motion to dismiss has been made, so by rule, the plaintiff is entitled
to notice. Accordingly, the Court will order the plaintiff to show cause, on or
before February 28, 2018, why Jones, Prine, and the remaining unnamed
defendants should not be dismissed, pursuant to Rule 4(m), for failure to
serve process.
IT IS ORDERED:
1.

The plaintiff is ordered to show cause, on or before
