No. C 06-1318 SBA

 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE

FAILURE TO SERVE 

On February 23, 2006, Plaintiff Joseph Hernandez ("Plaintiff") filed a complaint against

Defendants Astrazeneca Pharmaceuticals, L.P., Astrazeneca, L.P., and Eli Lilly and Company

("Defendants"). On June 16, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Case Management Conference Statement requesting

the Court to continue the Case Management Conference, currently scheduled for June 29, 2006 at 4:00

p.m., for approximately 120 days, because Plaintiff had not yet served Defendants. Pursuant to Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), Plaintiff was required to serve Defendants within 120 days of the filing

of the complaint, that is by June 23, 2006. As of the date of this order, Plaintiff has not served

Defendants. Plaintiff has not shown good cause for his failure to serve. If service of the summons and

complaint is not made upon Defendants within 120 days, the Court may dismiss the case without

prejudice after providing notice to Plaintiff. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). 

Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

(1) Plaintiff and/or Plaintiff's counsel of record shall appear in Courtroom 3 of the United

States Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, on July 5, 2006, at 4:00 p.m.

to show cause why the above-captioned case should not be dismissed without prejudice

for failure to serve the complaint on Defendant.

(2) No later than June 30, 2006, Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s counsel of record must file a

ORDER WILL BE DEEMED SUFFICIENT GROUNDS TO DISMISS THE ACTION.
