UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEFFREY THOMAS SMITH,

Plaintiff,

v.

MATTHEW LANGFORD, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-1916 JAM GGH PS

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

This action was referred to the undersigned pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(21). Pursuant 

to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), the court may dismiss an action where service of 

summons is not made within 120 days after the filing of the complaint. In the Order Requiring 

Timely Service and Joint Status Report, filed August 15, 2014, plaintiff was cautioned that this 

action may be dismissed if service was not timely completed. This action was filed August 15, 

2014 and plaintiff has not yet served the individual defendants with summons.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall show cause, in writing, 

within ten days from the date of this order, why the court should not recommend the individual 

defendants be dismissed for plaintiff’s failure to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

4(m).

Dated: December 17, 2014
