IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
GUSTAVO RESENDIZ,
Plaintiff,
v.
SPARTANNASH ASSOCIATES,
8:22CV173
ORDER
Defendant.
On September 30, 2022, defendant SpartanNash Associates (“SpartanNash”) filed
a Motion to Dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(5) (Filing No. 11),
arguing pro se plaintiff Gustavo Resendiz (“Resendiz”) failed to properly serve process
under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4. In particular, SpartanNash faulted Resendiz for
“failing to deliver the summons to an authorized individual at SpartanNash and” for
“attempting to serve process as a party in this litigation.”
On December 8, 2022, the Court decided SpartanNash’s arguments had merit yet
denied the motion to allow Resendiz “a reasonable opportunity to properly serve
SpartanNash under Rule 4” (Filing No. 16). Giving Resendiz forty days, the Court
warned him that failing to do so “could result in the dismissal of this case without further
notice.”
Despite that warning and ample opportunity to comply with Rule 4, Resendiz
failed to perfect service and file a proof of service as required. Accordingly, this case is
dismissed without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
