ALFRED JAMES MAYLE,

Plaintiff,

v.

ERIC HOLDER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-04072-JSC 

SECOND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

This immigration mandamus was filed on September 8, 2014; however, the docket does 

not reflect that Respondents have been served. Accordingly, on March 2, 2015, the Court issued 

an Order to Show Cause as to why the petition should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41 based on Petitioner’s failure to serve and otherwise 

prosecute this action. (Dkt. No. 8.) Petitioner filed a response indicating that counsel’s secretary 

personally served Respondents in March (Dkt. No. 9), but Petitioner did not file a proof of service. 

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(l). Accordingly, the Court issued an Order directing Petitioner to file a proof 

of service by March 26. Petitioner did not do so, and instead, his counsel filed a blank certificate 

of service that he docketed as a “Request for Waiver of Service in a Social Security Case.” (Dkt. 

No. 11.) The Clerk’s Office notified Petitioner’s counsel of the filing error on April 9, but he still 

has not filed a proper proof of service of the immigration mandamus.

Petitioner shall have one final opportunity to comply with the rules and this Court’s 

Orders. Petitioner must file a complete proof of service of the immigration mandamus by
