NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

GEORGE J. AUSTIN, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, ET AL., 

Defendants.

CASE NO. 19-cv-05631-YGR 

ORDER VACATING CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE; DIRECTING FILING 

REGARDING SERVICE; SETTING 

COMPLIANCE DATE

Re: Dkt. No. 19 

The instant action was filed on September 6, 2019, and initially assigned to Magistrate 

Judge Thomas S. Hixson. On September 30, 3019, Magistrate Judge Hixson granted in part the 

application of plaintiff George J. Austin to proceed in forma pauperis, including an order directing 

service of the summons and complaint upon defendants by the United States Marshal. (Dkt. No. 

8.) Thereafter, the action was reassigned to the undersigned. 

The docket in this action indicates that service upon defendants has not been effected. 

Summons on defendant Georgetown University Law Center Organization at the address provided 

by plaintiff was returned unexecuted. (Dkt. No. 24.) No return of service is on file as to 

defendants Georgetown University or “Photographer Commissioned by Georgetown,” and no 

defendant has appeared. 

In light of the foregoing, the Case Management Conference currently set for Monday, 

March 23, 2020 is VACATED. 

It is the responsibility of plaintiff to provide sufficient information to ensure prosecution of 

his action. The Court therefore ORDERS Austin to: (1) file a statement confirming the names and 

addresses of the defendants to be served; or (2) file a motion for additional time to serve the 

complaint, explaining the reasons why such information cannot be provided. Failure to comply 

may result in dismissal of all defendants without prejudice for failure to serve and prosecute the
