DIANNE FEINSTEIN,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-02435-KAW 

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE; ORDER VACATING 

12/15/15 CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE

Re: Dkt. No. 13

On October 21, 2015, the Court issued an order to show cause to Plaintiff to explain why 

this case should not be dismissed for failure to complete service of the complaint within the period 

prescribed in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). (Dkt. No. 13.) On November 2, 2015, 

Plaintiff filed an untitled document that the undersigned will construe as a response to the order to 

show cause. (Dkt. No. 14.) Therein, Plaintiff stated that he mailed the lawsuit and related 

documents in early-June. Id. at 2. To date, however, Plaintiff has not filed a certificate of service.

Accordingly, the order to show cause is discharged and Plaintiff is ordered to file a 

certificate of service on or before December 31, 2015. If Plaintiff cannot recall the date and all 

information concerning the June 2015 attempt to serve the complaint by mail, he should again

serve all documents and file a certificate of service by December 31, 2015.

Additionally, Plaintiff shall not file any other documents in a language other than English 

without an English translation. Should Plaintiff want the Court to consider any non-English 

documents previously filed, he shall file an English translation of the documents along with a 

declaration that this is a translation and reference the original document. Otherwise the Court will 

not consider the non-English documents filed.

As Defendant has not been served, the Court VACATES the case management conference
