ROBERT ALEXANDER,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant. ____________________________________/

No. C14-05159 HRL

ORDER THAT CASE BE 

REASSIGNED TO A DISTRICT 

JUDGE

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

RE DISMISSAL WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

Robert Alexander filed this action on November 21, 2014. Dkt. No. 1. Pursuant to Rule 

4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff had until March 21, 2015 to serve Defendant. 

Plaintiff failed to do so. The court issued an order to show cause why this case should not be 

dismissed for failure to prosecute, which was set for a hearing on June 23, 2015. Plaintiff did not 

appear at the hearing, nor did he file a statement in response to the order to show cause. 

Accordingly, dismissal of this action without prejudice is appropriate.

Because the parties have yet to consent to the undersigned’s jurisdiction, this court ORDERS 

the Clerk of the Court to reassign this case to a District Judge. The undersigned further 

RECOMMENDS that the newly assigned judge dismiss this action without prejudice. Any party
