UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

BARTHOLOME HICKMAN, SR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, 

Acting Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.

No. 2:16-cv-0457 CKD PS

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

By order filed March 9, 2016, plaintiff was directed to submit to the United States 

Marshal a completed summons and copies of the complaint, and to file, within fourteen days, a 

statement with the court that said documents had been submitted to the United States Marshal.

Plaintiff failed to submit the statement of compliance.1 More than two months have 

passed and there is no evidence that plaintiff has taken the proper steps to ensure service of 

summons by the Marshal.

 On March 14, 2016, plaintiff filed a purported summons return executed. However, that 

document does not demonstrate compliance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4 for service on 

the named defendant.
