NOTICE TO PRO SE LITIGANTS IN NON-PRISONER ACTIONS:

The court hereby ORDERS you to comply with the service requirements of Rule 4 of the

Service may be effected by any person who is not a party and who is at least 18 years of 

age, which means that you, as a party, may not effect service. If service of the summons and 

complaint is not made upon a defendant within 120 days after the filing of the complaint, your 

action will, under Rule 4 (m), be dismissed as to that defendant.

Within 125 days after the filing of the complaint, you must file proof of service indicating 

which defendants were served within the 120 days allowed under Rule 4 (m) and showing, in 

accordance with Rule 4 (i), how each of those defendants was served (for example, by attaching 

appropriate certificates of service). You must also show cause why a defendant not served within 

the 120 days allowed under Rule 4 (m) should not be dismissed without prejudice. 

Failure to do these things within the designated time will result in the dismissal of your 

case under Rule 4 (m) and Rule 41 (b).

For additional information on procedures for litigating in Federal Court, pro se litigants are 

encouraged to contact the Court’s Legal Help Center 415-782-8982 or sign up for an appointment 

with the Center at 450 Golden Gate Avenue, 15th Floor, Room 2796, San Francisco, CA 94102.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
