SAN JOSE DIVISION

KANOSI CHAKWEVA,

Plaintiff,

v.

EXPERIAN INFORMATION SOLUTIONS, 

INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:16-cv-02231-EJD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On April 25, 2016, Plaintiff Kanosi Chakweva (“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 Experian Information Solutions, Inc., and Experian 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 July 24, 2016. 

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

dismissed without prejudice for lack of service. If Plaintiff does not, no later than August 8, 2016, 

either: (1) file documents to show proof of service of the Summons and Complaint on Experian; or
