GLENN GOWER,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALAMEDA COUNTY SHERIFF'S 

OFFICE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-00743-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE; ORDER 

CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE TO JUNE 21, 2016

This action was filed on February 19, 2014. (Dkt. No. 1.) Pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (2014), Plaintiff had 120 days to complete service of the 

complaint and summons on Defendants, such that June 19, 2014 was the last day to complete 

service or to file a Motion for Administrative Relief from the deadline pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-11. 

The summons, however, was never issued due to Plaintiff’s filing error involving the 

proposed summons, and Plaintiff never resubmitted the proposed summons as required by the

Clerk’s Office. (Dkt. No. 4.) As a result of this deficiency, an initial case management scheduling 

order was never issued and the case management conference was not automatically scheduled. 

Upon discovery of the oversight, the initial case management conference was scheduled for 

January 12, 2016. (Dkt. No. 5.) Additionally, a Clerk’s Notice to consent or decline to the 

undersigned was issued. (Dkt. No. 6.) To date, Plaintiff has not filed any documents with the 

court. The case management conference was ultimately continued to March 22, 2016 because 

Plaintiff had not resubmitted the proposed summons nor served the defendants 7 days prior to the 

case management conference date. (Dkt. No. 8.)

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that by no later than April 1, 2016, Plaintiff shall show cause, 

in writing, why this matter should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the deadline to
