IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAVIER ALCALA,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

TRANSPORTATION,

Defendant. /

No. C 09-5837 SI

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

RE FAILURE TO SERVE SUMMONS

AND COMPLAINT AND FAILURE TO

APPEAR

This matter came on for a regularly-scheduled case management conference on Friday, March

26, 2010. No one appeared. Review of the file suggests that the summons and complaint have not yet

been served on defendant.

Accordingly, plaintiff is hereby ORDERED to show cause, in writing filed with the Court

no later than April 9, 2010 why he failed to appear and whether he intends to continue with this action.

Plaintiff is cautioned that if he does not appear and/or does not comply with Court orders, his case may

be prejudiced and/or dismissed for failure to prosecute. 

Additionally, plaintiff, is reminded that Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

provides that if service of the summons and complaint is not made on the defendant within 120 days of

filing the complaint, the court “shall dismiss the action without prejudice as to that defendant or direct

that service be effected within a specified time . . . .” This action was filed on December 14, 2009; 120

days thereafter will be April 13, 2010. Plaintiff is therefore required, under the Rules, to serve

defendant by April 13, 2010.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 26, 2010
