Case No. 2:17-cv-01323-GMN-GWF
REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff’s Complaint (ECF No. 1) was filed on May 10, 2017. Therefore, the time limit for
14
service on Defendant was August 8, 2017. On August 10, 2017, the Court filed a Notice of Intent to
15
Dismiss Pursuant to Rule 4(m) for Plaintiff’s failure to provide proof of service on Defendant. See
16
ECF No. 9. The Court gave Plaintiff until September 9, 2017 to file a proof of service and
17
demonstrate that Defendant was served prior to the expiration of the 90-day time limit set forth in
18
Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). Id. Plaintiff was cautioned that failure to comply with the Court’s notice
19
could result in a dismissal of the action. Id. Rather than file a proof of service, Plaintiff filed a
20
Motion to Extend Time for Service on September 5, 2017. See ECF No. 10. The Court denied
21
Plaintiff’s motion, without prejudice, on September 7, 2017 because Plaintiff did not adequately
22
demonstrate whether good cause existed to grant the requested extension. See Order (ECF No. 11).
23
To date, Plaintiff has not filed a renewed motion for extension of time or filed a proof of service
24
with the Court. Therefore, it appears that Plaintiff has abandoned this lawsuit. Accordingly,

NOTICE
8
Pursuant to Local Rule IB 3-2, any objection to this Finding and Recommendation must be
9
in writing and filed with the Clerk of the Court within fourteen (14) days. The Supreme Court has
10
held that the courts of appeal may determine that an appeal has been waived due to the failure to file
11
objections within the specified time. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 142 (1985). This circuit has
12
also held that (1) failure to file objections within the specified time and (2) failure to properly
13
address and brief the objectionable issues waives the right to appeal the District Court’s order and/or
14
appeal factual issues from the order of the District Court. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153, 1157
15
(9th Cir. 1991); Britt v. Simi Valley United Sch. Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983).
