UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

PEGGY BALMER,

Plaintiff,

v.

TRANS UNION , LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:15-cv-03056-EJD 

ORDER DISCHARING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE; DISMISSING 

DEFENDANT

On September 23, 2015, the court ordered Plaintiff Peggy Balmer (“Plaintiff”) to either file 

documents showing that service of process had been completed on certain defendants or show 

cause in writing why she failed to accomplish service within 120 days required by Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 4(m). See Docket Item No. 30. Plaintiff filed a return to the OSC on September 

30, 2015, in which she produced documents demonstrating that First National Credit Card, Inc.

was served. Accordingly, the OSC is DISCHARGED as to that defendant. 

However, Plaintiff has not demonstrated service on TransUnion, LLC. Nor does the court 

find that Plaintiff’s excuse for her failure to timely accomplish service constitutes good cause. See

Hamilton v. Endell, 981 F.2d 1062, 1065 (9th Cir. 1992) (explaining that “inadvertent error or 

ignorance of governing rules alone will not excuse a litigant’s failure to effect timely service.”). 

Accordingly, all claims against TransUnion, LLC are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 1, 2015
