UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On May 30, 2014, Plaintiff filed the instant action. (Doc. 1) On June 3, 2014, the Court issued

the summons. (Doc. 2) Plaintiff failed to file a proof of service of the summons and complaint as of 

August 28, 2014. As a result, on that date, the Court reminded Plaintiff of his obligation to serve the 

summons and complaint within 120 days of the filing of the complaint as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 

4. When, by November 5, 2014, Plaintiff still had not filed a proof of service of the summons and 

complaint, the Court issued an order to Plaintiff to show cause why the matter should not be dismissed 

for his failure to serve the complaint and prosecute the action. (Doc. 5)

In response, on November 18, 2014, Plaintiff filed proof of service showing that the United 

States had been served on October 30, 2014. (Doc. 7) In addition, Plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss 

the complaint as to Melvin Rene Lopez. (Doc. 8) Finally, Plaintiff explained that the delay in service 

was due to a misunderstanding as to whether counsel for the United States would accept service as to 

Mr. Lopez. (Doc. 6 at 1)
