LUCIA B. CHAVEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-02756-KAW 

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE

This action was filed on June 18, 2015. (Compl., Dkt. No. 1.) Pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff has 120 days to complete service of the complaint and 

summons on Defendant, such that October 16, 2015 was the last day to complete service. The 

Case Management Conference (CMC) originally scheduled for September 22, 2015 was continued 

to December 1, 2015, because Defendant had not been served 7 days prior to the original CMC 

date. (Clerk's Notice, Dkt. No. 5.) As of November 30, 2015, Plaintiff had not filed a certificate 

of service showing that Defendant was served. Nor had a summons been issued in this case.

In light of this, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why this matter should not be 

dismissed for failure to comply with the deadline set forth in Rule 4(m).

1

Plaintiff was to file a 

written response to the order to show cause by December 14, 2015.

Plaintiff timely filed a written response.2 Having reviewed the response, the Court finds 

good cause to extend the deadline for service of the summons and complaint. Within 30 days of 

 

1

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) provides that "[i]f a defendant is not served 120 days after 

the complaint is filed, the court . . . must dismiss the action without prejudice against the 

defendant . . . ." It should be noted that effective December 1, 2015, the time for service was 

reduced from 120 days to 90 days.

2

Plaintiff also filed her consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
