No. CV 04-0220-SRB (ECV)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On July 16, 2004, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint in this action. Doc. #6.

The Court screened the amended complaint and ordered service on the three named

defendants. Doc. #7. However, the U.S. Marshals Service was unable to serve any of the

defendants. The Process Receipt and Return for each defendant states that the named

individual is not an employee of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and that the U.S.

Marshals Service was unable to locate the individual. Doc. # 8-10. Accordingly, no

defendants in this action have been served. Plaintiff was instructed in the screening order

that if he failed to obtain a waiver of service or complete service within 120 days of the date

he filed his amended complaint, the action could be dismissed pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Doc. #7 at 2. That deadline expired in November 2004.

Accordingly, Plaintiff will be ordered to show cause why this action should not be dismissed

pursuant to Rule 4(m).

dismiss this action. 

DATED this 16th day of March, 2006.
