IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN H. SMITH,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-0628 MCE GGH PS

vs.

SACRAMENTO UNIFIED SCHOOL ORDER

DISTRICT, 

Defendant. 

 /

On August 7, 2007, this court ordered plaintiff to show cause why this action

should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the requirement of Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) that 

service of process be made within 120 days after the filing of the complaint, in this case by April

2, 2007. 

Plaintiff timely responded that he has had an assistant helping him with the

preparation of this case who “became very ill and had surgery shortly after my complaint was

prepared and filed. She has had extensive follow-up treatments since her surgery and has

recently returned to work. Once she returned to work she served the Defendants on August 2,

2007 the summons, complaint and all supporting documentation.” Plaintiff also filed with the

court a return of service upon defendant on August 2, 2007.
