Case No. 5:12-cv-00653 EJD

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

EDGAR JESUS SANTILLAN PADILLA,

Plaintiff(s),

 v.

TECHTRONIC INDUSTRIES CO., LTD.,

et. al.,

Defendant(s). /

CASE NO. 5:12-cv-00653 EJD

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On January 24, 2013, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint in this action naming

Techtronic Industries Co., Ltd. (“TICL”) as a defendant. See Docket Item No. 35. To date,

however, the docket does not contain a proof of service or waiver of service for TICL and TICL has

not appeared in this action. 

Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 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 the

plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the court shall extend the

time for service for an appropriate period.

The 120-day period for service provided by Rule 4(m) expired on May 24, 2013.

Accordingly, the court issues the instant Order to Show Cause (“OSC”) requiring that Plaintiffs, no

later than January 9, 2014, file a document either (1) indicating their consent to TICL’s dismissal

without prejudice, or (2) showing cause why TICL should not be dismissed pursuant to Rule 4(m). 

No hearing will be held on the order to show cause unless otherwise ordered by the court. 

Plaintiffs are notified that the court will dismiss TICL if they fail to comply with this OSC or

otherwise fail to show cause as directed above.
