SAN JOSE DIVISION

Hope Carter,

Plaintiff,

 v.

Elke Houser, et al.,

Defendants. /

NO. C 07-00570 JW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE:

DISMISSAL

Upon the filing of this case on January 29, 2007, a case management conference was

scheduled for May 14, 2007. On May 9, 2007, the Court continued the initial case management

conference because Plaintiff indicated in her statement that she has yet to serve Defendants. (See

Docket Item Nos. 3 & 4.) At that time, Plaintiff was still within her 120-day time period to serve. 

The Court continued the case management conference to June 4, 2007.

To date, the docket reflects that Plaintiff has still not served any of the Defendants. Pursuant

to Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the deadline for Plaintiff’s service of her

Summons and Complaint was May 29, 2007. 

The Court hereby orders Plaintiff to appear in Courtroom No. 8, 4th Floor, United States

District Court, 280 South First Street, San Jose, Ca. on June 18, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. to show cause, if

any, by actual appearance in Court, and by certification filed with the Court at least ten (10) days

prior to appearance date, June 8, 2007, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to comply

with Rule 4(m). The certificate shall set forth in factual summary the reason no service has been

made and what steps Plaintiff is taking to pursue the action, its present status and the expected future
