ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO SHOW 

CAUSE; FED. R. CIV. P. 4(M) 

NOTICE

Plaintiff was issued an Order to Show Cause (“OSC”) on 

August 20, 2015, for failing to file a status report, to which 

Plaintiff’s counsel responded. (See ECF Nos. 7, 8.)

Although Plaintiff’s counsel’s response to the OSC 

indicates Plaintiff’s counsel could be sanctioned, the

undersigned judge will not impose a sanction this time. 

Therefore, Plaintiff’s request for a hearing on the OSC is 

unnecessary, and no hearing is scheduled.

Further, in light of Plaintiff’s service 

representations in its Ex Parte Application of Time to Serve 

Process, (ECF No. 9), Plaintiff is granted an extension under 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“Rule”) 4(m) to effectuate 

service on Defendant until and including October 16, 2015. 

Plaintiff is notified under Rule 4(m) that failure to serve

Defendant with process by October 16, 2015, may result in the

sufficient explanation why service was not completed within the
