To date, Plaintiff has neither responded to the Court’s Order to Show Cause nor evidenced successful service of process on Defendants. Accordingly, this case is subject to dismissal. In light of the foregoing, the undersigned RECOMMENDS that: (1) pro se Plaintiff’s complaint be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE; and (2) this case be TERMINATED on the Court’s docket.
