Plaintiff filed a complaint and motion to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) with the Court
16
on August 4, 2017. (Dkt. 1.) The Court denied the IFP motion (Dkt. 4) and plaintiff paid the filing
17
fee. On October 13, 2017, the Court issued an Order directing the Clerk to issue summonses to
18
plaintiff, and indicating plaintiff and plaintiff’s counsel were responsible for arranging for service
19
of summons and complaint upon defendant. (Dkt. 6.) Subsequently, ninety days elapsed, with
20
no docket activity indicating either that the complaint had been served on defendant, or that the
21
matter had been voluntarily withdrawn. On January 19, 2018, the Court issued an Order to Show
22
Cause, setting a fourteen-day deadline for plaintiff to show cause why this matter should not be
23
dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. (Dkt. 8.) Plaintiff did not respond to the
