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 OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE FOR FAILURE TO SERVE 

DEFENDANTS WITH PROCESS 

Plaintiff filed this lawsuit on January 20, 2015. Although summonses for each defendant 

were issued on that date, no proofs of service have yet been filed nor has any defendant made an 

appearance in this case. 

On April 8, 2015, the Court issued an order continuing the date of the initial Case 

Management Conference from April 24, 2015 to July 10, 2015, and advising plaintiff of the 

deadlines for service of process in Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The 120 

day deadline in Rule 4(m) expired on May 10, 2015. 

Plaintiff neither sought nor received any extensions of time to serve the defendants in this 

matter, nor has he otherwise contacted the Court in the interim. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 

4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, this action is DISMISSED without prejudice for 

failure to serve defendants with process. The Case Management Conference set for July 10, 2015 

is VACATED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
