ORDER
Pending before the Court is the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. No.
10), which was filed on October 15, 2019. Through the Report and Recommendation, the
Magistrate Judge recommends that this action be dismissed without prejudice under Rules 4(m)
and 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to effect service of process and failure
to prosecute. On December 3, 2018, the Magistrate Judge ordered Plaintiff to show cause within
30 days as to why the only defendant had yet to be served. (Doc. No. 9). Plaintiff was warned that
failure to do so would likely result in recommendation that his case be dismissed. (Id.). Plaintiff
did not respond to the show cause order and has not served the remaining defendant. Although the
Report and Recommendation advised the parties that any objections must be filed within 14 days
of service, no objections have been filed.
The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation, and concludes it should be
adopted and approved. Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED without prejudice.
It is so ORDERED.
