BERNARDO MENDIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA,

Defendant.

Case No. 4:19-cv-03193-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

This action was filed on June 7, 2019. (Dkt. No. 1.) Pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff has 90 days to complete service of the complaint and summons 

on Defendant, such that September 5, 2019 was the last day to complete service or to file a Motion 

for Administrative Relief from the deadline pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-11. To date, no proof of 

service has been filed. The case management conference, originally scheduled for September 10, 

2019, was continued to November 5, 2019, because Defendant had not been served 7 days prior to 

the original case management conference date. (Dkt. No. 8.)

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that by no later than October 15, 2019, Plaintiff shall show 

cause why this matter should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the deadline to complete 

service on Defendant or to file a Motion for Administrative Relief. Additionally, Plaintiff shall 

serve Defendant and file a proof of service by October 15, 2019.

In responding to the order to show cause, Plaintiff may wish to contact the Federal Pro 

Bono Project’s Help Desk for assistance—a free service for pro se litigants—by calling (415) 782-

8982. Plaintiff may also wish to consult a manual the court has adopted to assist pro se litigants in 

presenting their case. This manual, and other free information for pro se litigants, is available
