IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DIEIDRA J. THOMAS, No. CIV.S-05-1566 LKK DAD PS

Plaintiff,

v. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND 

KAISER FOUNDATION HOSPITALS, FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

et al.,

Defendants.

___________________________/

This matter came before the court on April 14, 2006, for a

Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference. Mark Grajski appeared on

behalf of defendant Kaiser Foundation Hospital. Bruce Harland

appeared specially on behalf of defendant Hospital & Health Care

Workers’ Union Local 250 (“Local 250"). There was no appearance on

behalf of plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se in this matter.

As discussed at the April 14, 2006 hearing, plaintiff has

been afforded ample time to complete service of process on defendant

Local 250. Plaintiff was reminded of the need to timely complete

 In light of this recommendation the recently filed motion to 1

prejudice as moot.

service of process in the initial order setting status conference as

well as at the two earlier status conferences held in this matter. 

The notice of removal was filed in this action on August 5, 2005,

more than eight months ago. Yet, during that time plaintiff has

failed to complete service of process upon defendant Local 250. 

Therefore, the undersigned will recommend that the union be dismissed

without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m).

Next, as noted, plaintiff failed to appear at the most

recent status conference as directed. Therefore, plaintiff will be

directed to show cause in writing why this matter should not be

dismissed for lack of prosecution.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall show

cause in writing within ten (10) days why this matter should not be

dismissed without prejudice for lack of prosecution. Failure to

timely file the required writing will result in a recommendation of

dismissal.

IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that defendant Hospital & Health

Care Workers’ Union Local 250 be dismissed without prejudice for lack

of timely service of process. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). 1

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the

United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the

provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Within ten (10) days after

being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may

file written objections with the court. Such a document should be

captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and

Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file

objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal

the District Court’s order. See Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th

Cir. 1991).
