NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

PEGGY BALMER,

Plaintiff,

v.

EXPERIAN INFORMATION SOLUTIONS, 

INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:15-cv-03056-EJD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On May 19, 2015, Plaintiff Peggy Balmer (“Plaintiff”) filed the Complaint underlying this 

action. To date, however, the docket does not contain a proof of service or waiver of service for 

Defendants TransUnion, LLC (“TransUnion”) or First National Credit Card, Inc. (“First 

National”), and neither TransUnion nor First National have appeared in this action.

The currently-effective version of Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 

provides in pertinent part:

If service of the summons and complaint is not made upon a 

defendant within 120 days after the filing of the complaint, the 

court, upon motion or on its own initiative after notice to the 

plaintiff, shall dismiss the action without prejudice as to that 

defendant or direct that service be effected within a specified time; 

provided that if the plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the 

court shall extend the time for service for an appropriate period.

The 120-day period for service provided by Rule 4(m) expired on September 16, 2015. 

Accordingly, the court issues the instant Order to Show Cause (“OSC”) requiring that Plaintiff, no 

later than September 30, 2015, either: (1) file documents to show proof of service of the 

Summons and Complaint on TransUnion and First National; or (2) explain in writing why service 

has not been accomplished. No hearing will be held on the order to show cause unless otherwise
