FEUERSTEIN, District Judge:

The Court's records reflect that the complaint in this action was filed on November 4,
2014. Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:
If a defendant is not served within 120 days after the complaint is
filed, the court - on motion or on its own after notice to the
plaintiff- must dismiss the action without prejudice against that
defendant or order that service be made within a specified time.
But if the plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the court must
extend the time for service for an appropriate period.
Accordingly, if service is not made upon defendants by March 4, 2015, or plaintiff fails
to show good cause why such service has not been effected, this action will be dismissed without
prejudice. Plaintiff is to provide a copy of this Order to the defendants along with the
summonses and complaint, and shall file proof of service with the Court.
Plaintiff is required to advise the Clerk of Court of any change of address. Failure to
keep the Court informed of plaintiffs current address means the Court will not know where to
contact plaintiff and may result in dismissal of the case.
SO ORDERED.
