NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

VICTORIA BIGGS,

Plaintiff,

v.

EXPERIAN INFORMATION SOLUTIONS, 

INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:16-cv-01507-EJD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On March 28, 2016, Plaintiff Victoria Biggs (“Plaintiff”) filed the Complaint underlying 

this action. To date, however, the docket does not contain a proof of service or waiver of service 

for Defendant Tidewater Finance Company (“Tidewater”), and Tidewater has not appeared in this 

action.

Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides in pertinent part:

If a defendant is not served within 90 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. But if the 

plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the court must extend the 

time for service for an appropriate period.

The 90-day period for service provided by Rule 4(m) expired on June 27, 2016. 

Accordingly, the court issues the instant Order to Show Cause why Tidewater should not be 

dismissed without prejudice for lack of service. If Plaintiff does not, no later than August 19, 

2016, either: (1) file documents to show proof of service of the Summons and Complaint on 

Tidewater; or (2) explain in writing why service has not been accomplished, the court will so 

order.
