UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On June 29, 2016, the Court granted the plaintiff’s request (Doc. 6) to extend the time for 

service of the summons and complaint. (Doc. 7) Notably, the plaintiff asserted that during the 

extended period, the plaintiff would effect personal service, seek service by publication or dismiss the 

action. (Doc. 6 at 1) Nevertheless, the plaintiff sought a second extension on August 24, 2016 after it 

had been unable to serve the defendant despite four attempts to do so. (Doc. 11) As in the earlier 

request, the plaintiff indicated that within the 45-day extension period, it would make service, file a 

motion for service by publication or dismiss the action. Id. at 2. The Court granted this second 

extension. (Doc. 12) Nevertheless, the plaintiff did not file proof of service, move the Court for 

service by publication or dismiss the action. Therefore, the Court ORDERS:

1. Within 14 days, the plaintiff SHALL show cause in writing why this matter should not 

be dismissed due to the failure to comply with Rule 4(m) and the orders of the Court. Alternatively, 

the plaintiff may file its notice of voluntary dismissal;
