UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LUCILLE WINSTON, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-05417-MEJ 

ORDER SETTING SERVICE 

DEADLINE; ORDER CONTINUING 

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Although this case has been pending since December 11, 2014, there is no indication that 

any of the named Defendants have been served in compliance with Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 4. “If a defendant is not served within 120 days after the complaint is filed, the court –

on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff – must dismiss the action without prejudice 

against that defendant or order that service be made within a specified time.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). 

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiffs to serve all Defendants by July 20, 2015. Any 

Defendants that are not served by July 20 shall be dismissed without prejudice, unless Plaintiffs 

establish good cause for their failure to comply with court deadlines. 

The Court shall conduct a Case Management Conference on August 27, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. 

in Courtroom B. The parties shall file a Joint Case Management Conference Statement by August 

20, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 29, 2015
