UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIE LOUISE, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

JACOB JOSEPH LEW,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-03856-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR 

FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

Pro se plaintiffs Marie Louise and Keith Allan ("Plaintiffs") commenced the abovecaptioned case on August 26, 2014. (Compl., Dkt. No. 1.)

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) provides that "[i]f a defendant is not served 120 days 

after the complaint is filed, the court . . . must dismiss the action without prejudice against the 

defendant . . . ." In this case, the deadline for service of the summons and complaint was 

December 24, 2014. As of the filing of this order, however, Plaintiffs have not filed a certificate 

of service indicating that the defendant has been served.

Accordingly, the Court hereby orders Plaintiffs to show cause why this case should not be 

dismissed for failure to prosecute. Plaintiffs shall file a written response to this order to show 

cause by January 26, 2015. Failure to file a response to this order may result in dismissal of this 

action. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
