Civil Action No. 4:14-cv-03233-RBH

ORDER

This action was filed on August 12, 2014, and an amended complaint was filed on November
6, 2014. Summonses were issued as to certain new parties, including Defendants Nothing Over $7.95
and Nothing over $7.99 on November 7, 2014. However, the docket reflects no further activity as to
these defendants.
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure require a plaintiff to file proof of service of a defendant
pursuant to Rule 4(l); however, as of the date of this Order the plaintiff has not filed such. It must be
noted that pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m), service of the summons and complaint must be effected
within 120 days after the filing of the complaint. If the plaintiff fails to comply within such time
limitation, the court may on its own initiative dismiss the action as to those defendants after notice to
the plaintiff. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m).
Therefore, this court hereby provides notice to the plaintiff that it will dismiss Defendants
Nothing Over $7.95 and Nothing over $7.99 without prejudice ten days from the date of this Order if
proof of service has not been filed within that time.
