MUSTAFA YOUSIF AL BAYATI,

Plaintiff,

v.

UR MENDOZA JADDOU; TERRI 

ROBINSON,

Defendants.

No. 2:23-cv-0688 DAD DB PS

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff Mustafa Yousif Al Bayati is proceeding in this action pro se. This matter was 

referred to the undersigned in accordance with Local Rule 302(c)(21) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). 

On April 13, 2023, plaintiff commenced this immigration action by filing a complaint and paying 

the applicable filing fee. (ECF No. 1.) However, no defendant has appeared in this action and 

the only activity on the docket consists of plaintiff filing supplemental material.1 

1 On April 19, 2023, plaintiff filed a purported proof of service on the defendants. Plaintiff may 

wish to compare the proof of service with the requirements for service as outlined in Rule 4(i) of 

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See generally Navarrette v. Wren, Case No.3:22-cv-0006 

LL AHG, 2022 WL 11128279, at *2 (S.D. Cal. Oct. 19, 2022) (“Rule 4(i) provides that, when 

suing a United States officer or employee in an individual capacity for an act or omission 

occurring in connection with the officer’s duties, in addition to serving the individual officer, the 

plaintiff must also serve the United States. To serve the United States, a party must deliver a 

copy of the summons and complaint to the United States Attorney for the district where the action 

is brought or send a copy of each by registered or certified mail to the civil-process clerk at the

In this regard, it appears that plaintiff has failed to prosecute this action. In light of 

plaintiff’s pro se status, and in the interests of justice, the court will provide plaintiff with an 

opportunity to show good cause for plaintiff’s conduct.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff show cause in writing within fourteen days of the date of this order as to why 

this case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution2; and

2. Plaintiff is cautioned that the failure to timely comply with this order may result in a 

recommendation that this case be dismissed.
