defendants’ waiver of service. Absent a showing of good cause for

taking longer than 120 days, an action is subject to dismissal if

service of process is not completed within 120 days after the

filing of the complaint. FRCP 4(m). The deadline for completion

of service has passed and plaintiff has failed to comply with his

obligations under FRCP 4.

Because plaintiff failed to appear at the case management

conference and failed to comply with FRCP 4, plaintiff is now

ordered to show cause in writing, on or before August 2, 2010, why

this action should not be dismissed for failure to serve the

defendants in a timely manner and for failure to prosecute. 

FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS ORDER WITHIN THE TIME SPECIFIED WILL

RESULT IN DISMISSAL OF THIS ACTION. 

Plaintiff is strongly advised (but not required) to

contact the Bar Association of San Francisco’s Legal Help Center

for free legal assistance with his case. The Legal Help Center is

located on the 15th Floor of the courthouse at 450 Golden Gate

Avenue in San Francisco. Appointments may be made by visiting the

Legal Help Center in person or by calling (415)782-9000, extension

IT IS SO ORDERED.
