The Court’s records reflect that the complaint in this action was filed on January 21, 2021.
(ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff paid the filing fee on January 25, 2021.
Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:
If a defendant is not served within 90 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 April 21, 2021, or plaintiff fails to
show good cause why such service has not been affected, the complaint will be dismissed without
prejudice.
Plaintiff is to provide a copy of this Order to 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 changes of address. Failure to
keep the Court informed of plaintiff’s current address may result in dismissal of the case.
SO ORDERED.
