Plaintiff thereafter amended the complaint and, on May 12, 2006, the Court ordered the

plaintiff alleged all said defendants were located. On November 2, 2006, the Court ordered

plaintiff to show cause, within thirty days, why the claims against Somera should not be

dismissed for lack of service pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

(“Rule 4(m)”). Plaintiff has not responded to the November 2, 2006 order, or made any

showing why Somera should not be dismissed. 

Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 4(m), the claims against Somera are hereby

DISMISSED without prejudice.
