JULIE HINDLEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-01973-MEJ 

ORDER RE: SERVICE DEADLINE; 

ORDER SCHEDULING CMC

Plaintiff Julie Hindley filed this case on May 1, 2015, at which time the matter was 

scheduled for a Case Management Conference on July 30, 2015. Dkt. Nos. 1, 4. However, as 

there is no indication Plaintiff served Defendant Department of Health and Human Services in 

accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, the Court vacated the Conference and ordered 

her to file a status report by August 10, 2015. Dkt. No. 5. In her response, Plaintiff fails to 

address the service issue entirely, stating only that she intends to file an amended complaint by 

August 17, 2015. Dkt. No. 6. As there is still no indication that Plaintiff served Defendant, the 

Court ORDERS Plaintiff Julie Hindley to complete service in compliance with Rule 4 by 

September 1, 2015. The Court advises Plaintiff that this case may be dismissed for failure to 

prosecute if service is not completed by the deadline above.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b) and Civil Local Rule 16-10, a Case 

Management Conference will be held in this case before the Honorable Maria-Elena James on 

October 1, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San 

Francisco, CA 94102. This conference shall be attended by lead trial counsel for parties who are 

represented. Parties who are proceeding without counsel must appear personally. The parties

shall file a Joint Case Management Statement by September 24, 2015, which shall contain the
