EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Anthony Carrasco and Kimberly

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND 

CONTINUING STATUS (PRETRIAL 

SCHEDULING) CONFERENCE; FED. R. 

CIV. P. 4(M) NOTICE

The July 6, 2015 Order Setting Status (Pretrial 

Scheduling) Conference scheduled a status conference in this case 

on October 26, 2015, and required the parties to file a joint 

status report no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the 

scheduling conference. The July 6, 2015 Order further required a 

status report be filed regardless of whether a joint report could 

be procured. No status report was filed as ordered.

Therefore, Plaintiffs are Ordered to Show Cause (“OSC”) 

in a writing to be filed no later than November 2, 2015, why 

sanctions should not be imposed against them and/or their counsel 

under Rule 16(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for 

failure to file a timely status report. The written response

shall also state whether Plaintiffs or their counsel are at 

fault, and whether a hearing is requested on the OSC.1 If a 

hearing is requested, it will be held on December 21, 2015, at 

9:00 a.m., just prior to the status conference, which is 

rescheduled to that date and time. A status report shall be filed 

no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the status conference. 

Further, Plaintiffs are notified under Rule 4(m) of the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that failure to serve each 

Defendant with process within the 120 day period prescribed in 

that Rule may result in the unserved defendant(s) and/or this 

action being dismissed. To avoid dismissal, on or before November 

2, 2015, Plaintiffs shall file proof of service for each 

defendant or a sufficient explanation why service was not 

completed within Rule 4(m)’s prescribed service period.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
