UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GARY PRICE THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

JERRY BROWN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-00270-SI 

ORDER CONTINUING APRIL 24, 2015 

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

TO JULY 10, 2015 AT 2:30 P.M.; 

ORDER RE: SERVICE OF

COMPLAINT AND SUMMONS ON 

DEFENDANTS

Plaintiff filed this lawsuit on January 20, 2015. Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure provides that service of the summons and complaint must be made upon defendants 

within 120 days of filing the complaint. To date, no proof of such service has been filed, nor has 

any defendant appeared in the action. As such, the Court finds that it would not be fruitful to hold 

the initial case management conference scheduled for April 24, 2015. The initial case 

management conference is continued to July 10, 2015 at 2:30 PM.

Plaintiff is hereby advised that Rule 4(m) provides that, absent a showing of good cause, 

"[i]f a defendant is not served within 120 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." Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 4(m).1

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 8, 2015 ________________________

 The Court notes that this case is related to Thomas v. Sonoma County et al., C 12-5607 SI and 

Thomas v. Shaffer et al., C 13-4861 SI, and that the prior cases were dismissed on numerous 

grounds, including the Rooker-Feldman doctrine and immunity.
