CIVIL ACTION NO. H-16-948

ORDER
Service of this action, filed on April 7, 2016, has not been effected. Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 4(m) provides in part:
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.
The plaintiff has until August 29, 2016, to show good cause for the failure to effect timely
service. If the plaintiff’s filings does not show good cause, or unless the plaintiff files proof of
service or waiver of service by that date, this case will be dismissed, without prejudice, without
further notice.
The initial pretrial conference set for August 26, 2016 is canceled. It will be reset, if
appropriate, after proof of service is filed.
SIGNED on August 15, 2016, at Houston, Texas.
