IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

IVANETE QING DELGADO PLAINTIFF

v. No. 4:07CV00160 JLH

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, Secretary, UNITED

STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY;

EMILIO GONZALEZ, Director, UNITED STATES

CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES;

DAVID ANGOTTI, Officer-In-Charge, USCIS 

MEMPHIS SUB OFFICE; and ROBERT S.

MUELLER III, Director, FEDERAL BUREAU

OF INVESTIGATION DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Ivanete Qing Delgado filed her complaint against Michael Chertoff, Secretary, United States

Department of Homeland Security; Emilio Gonzalez, Director, United States Citizenship and

Immigration Services; David Angotti, Officer-in-Charge, USCIS Memphis Sub Office; and Robert

S. Mueller III, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, on March 2, 2007. It appears that she may

have served summons and complaint on the four persons named as defendants, but Rule 4(i) of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that she must also deliver a copy of the summons and

complaint to the United States Attorney for the district in which the action is brought, and she must

send a copy of the summons and complaint by registered or certified mail to the Attorney General

of the United States at Washington, District of Columbia. The record does not reflect that she has

done so.

Rule 4(m) provides, in pertinent part:

If service of the summons and complaint is not made upon a defendant within 120

days after the filing of the complaint, the court, upon motion or on its own initiative

after notice to the plaintiff, shall dismiss the action without prejudice as to that

defendant or direct that service be effected within a specified time; provided that if

Case 4:07-cv-00160-JLH Document 11 Filed 07/27/07 Page 1 of 2
the plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the court shall extend the time for

service for an appropriate period.

More than 120 days have elapsed since the filing of the complaint. The plaintiff has not

effected service in the manner required by Rule 4(i). Therefore, the Court hereby gives notice that

this action will be dismissed unless within 30 days of entry of this order the plaintiff shows good

cause why the action should not be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 27th day of July, 2007.
