UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On March 5, 2015, Plaintiffs filed the instant action. (Doc. 1) On the July 23, 2015, the Court 

issued the summonses (Docs. 2-9) and its order setting the mandatory scheduling conference to occur 

on November 9, 2015. (Doc. 10) In its order setting the mandatory scheduling conference, the Court 

advised counsel:

The Court is unable to conduct a scheduling conference until defendants have been 

served with the summons and complaint. Accordingly, plaintiff(s) shall diligently 

pursue service of summons and complaint and dismiss those defendants against whom 

plaintiff(s) will not pursue claims. Plaintiff(s) shall promptly file proofs of service of 

the summons and complaint so the Court has a record of service. Counsel are referred 

to F.R.Civ.P., Rule 4 regarding the requirement of timely service of the complaint. 

Failure to timely serve summons and complaint may result in the imposition of 

sanctions, including the dismissal of unserved defendants.

(Doc. 9 at 1-2, emphasis added) Nevertheless, Plaintiff has not filed a proof of service of the 

summons and complaint and no defendant has appeared in the action.
