STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE 

INSURANCE COMPANY,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-04560-LB 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR 

FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

Plaintiff filed a complaint against Defendant on October 13, 2014. (Complaint – ECF No. 

1.) Under Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a plaintiff normally has 120 days to 

serve the complaint and summons on a defendant. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). This means that in this 

case Plaintiff has until February 16, 2015 to serve the defendant. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m), 

6(a)(1)(C). To date, Plaintiff has filed no proof that the defendant have been served. (See generally

ECF Nos. 1-8.)

The court reminds Plaintiff to serve Defendant by February 16, 2015, and directs the 

plaintiff to file proof of service by February 17, 2015 (or show good cause by that date for the 

failure to serve). Failure to do either of these will result in dismissal of this case without prejudice 

under Rule 4(m) for failure to prosecute. The initial case-management conference in this matter 

has been set for March 12, 2015. A joint case-management statement must be filed by March 5, 

2015. (See ECF No. 8.)
