UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On July 17, 2015, Plaintiff filed the instant action. (Doc. 1) On the same day, the Court issued

the summons (Doc. 2) and its order setting the mandatory scheduling conference to occur on 

November 6, 2015. (Doc. 3) In its order setting the mandatory scheduling conference, the Court 

advised counsel:

The Court is unable to conduct a scheduling conference until defendants have been 

served with the summons and complaint. Accordingly, plaintiff(s) shall diligently 

pursue service of summons and complaint and dismiss those defendants against whom 

plaintiff(s) will not pursue claims. Plaintiff(s) shall promptly file proofs of service of 

the summons and complaint so the Court has a record of service. Counsel are referred 

to F.R.Civ.P., Rule 4 regarding the requirement of timely service of the complaint. 

Failure to timely serve summons and complaint may result in the imposition of 

sanctions, including the dismissal of unserved defendants.

(Doc. 3 at 1-2, emphasis added) Nevertheless, Plaintiff has not filed a proof of service of the 

summons and complaint and no defendant has appeared in the action.

On October 28, 2015, the Court issued an order reminding Plaintiff of his obligation to make 

timely service and continuing the scheduling conference for this to occur. (Doc. 5) However, despite 

this, Plaintiff still has not filed proofs of service and no defendant has appeared. Moreover, the 

continued date for the scheduling conference—December 17, 2015—is fast-approaching and it 

appears clear the case still may not be scheduled. Therefore, the Court ORDERS,

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

dismissed due to his failure to prosecute this action and comply with the Court’s orders;

2. The scheduling conference is continued to January 28, 2016 at 9:30 a.m.

Failure to comply will result in the recommendation to dismiss the action without further 

notice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
