UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OAKLAND DIVISION

DANIEL RODRIGUEZ,

Plaintiff,

 v.

OSCAR PADILLA, et al.,

Defendants. 

No. C 06-6044 SBA

ORDER

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, a plaintiff must serve a defendant with a copy of the

summons and complaint within 120 days of filing a complaint. Plaintiff Daniel Rodriguez’s amended

complaint was filed on February 6, 2007, well over four months ago. When a plaintiff fails to properly

serve a defendant within 120 days of filing the complaint, the Court “shall dismiss the action without

prejudice as to that defendant or direct that service be effected within a specified time.” FED. R. CIV.

P. 4(m).

Accordingly, Rodriguez’s amended complaint [Docket No. 4] is dismissed without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
