IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL F. SCHULZE, CASE NO. CV-F-05-0180 AWI LJO

Plaintiff, ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY SUMMONS

AND AMENDED COMPLAINT HAVE NOT

vs. BEEN SERVED TO COMPLY WITH

F.R.Civ.P. 4

FEDERAL BUREAU OF

INVESTIGATION, et al,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff Michael F. Schulze (“plaintiff”) proceeds pro se and on August 12, 2005, filed his

amended complaint to allege that several federal agencies violated the Freedom of Information Act and

the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. §§ 552 and 552a. This Court granted plaintiff up to November 21, 2005 to

serve the summons and amended complaint on defendants United States Marshals Service (“USMS”)

and Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”). To date, plaintiff has filed no documents to show

proof of service of the summons and amended complaint on USMS and DEA to comply with F.R.Civ.P.

4(i) and (m). Neither USMS nor DEA has appeared in this action.

F.R.Civ.P.4(m) provides in 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 the plaintiff

shows good cause for the failure, the court shall extend the time for service for an

appropriate period.
