IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID C. RIVERS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-2524 GEB PAN P

vs.

E. ROSZKO, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

 /

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed April 28, 2005, plaintiff was directed to provide the

United States Marshal with complete, current service instructions, summonses, and sufficient

copies of the complaint to permit the United States Marshal to effect service within the time limits

set in Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). There is no evidence in the record that plaintiff has complied with that

order. 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) provides in relevant part for dismissal of an

action without prejudice if service of process is not accomplished within 120 days after the filing

of a complaint. More than 120 days have passed since the complaint was filed, and there is no

evidence that service of process has been accomplished as to any defendant.
