UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

JAMEL BARNES,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 11-C-0435

ROM ISAVIGAN,
Defendant.

ORDER
Plaintiff filed this case on May 5, 2011. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m), plaintiff
had 120 days from filing within which to effect service of the complaint upon the defendant.
That time period expired a long time ago, yet no proof of service has been submitted to the
court. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 41(a), I may dismiss this action without prejudice for
lack of service on the defendant after 21 days’ notice to the plaintiff. This order provides
the plaintiff with that notice. Unless proof of service is filed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(l)
within 21 days of the date of this order, this action will be dismissed without prejudice.
SO ORDERED this 13th day of February 2012.
