Attorney’s Office learned of the case. A review of the docket indicates that the complaint was

filed on June 18, 2007 (more than 120 days ago), and the summons was issued on July 25, 2007,

but there is no indication that the summons and complaint were ever served on the government,

as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i). The United States Attorney’s Office has no record of being

served with the summons and complaint, or any other filings in this case other than the December

14, 2007 Notice of Change of Email Address.

Respectfully submitted,

SCOTT N. SCHOOLS

United States Attorney

[PROPOSED] ORDER

The complaint in this case was filed on June 18, 2007. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) required that

Plaintiff serve Defendant with the summons and complaint within 120 days. More than 120 days

have passed, and it appears that Plaintiff has failed to serve Defendant with the summons and

complaint. Plaintiff is HEREBY ORDERED to show cause, in writing, by _________________,

why this case should not be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
