UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANNY CRAIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF ATWATER, ATWATER POLICE 

DEPARTMENT, FRANK PIETRO, DAVID 

WALKER and JOSE TORRES,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-0591---BAM

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS 

ACTION SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED 

FOR PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO 

PROSECUTE

RESPONSE DUE July 30, 2015

Plaintiff Danny Crain (“Plaintiff”) initiated this action on April 15, 2015. (Doc. 1). By 

Court order, the Court set a Status Conference/Initial scheduling conference for July 23, 2015, at 

9:30 a.m. (Doc. 2). Plaintiff failed to appear before the Court on July 23, 2015. Additionally, the 

Court’s records indicate that no defendant has yet appeared in this case, and there has been no 

docket activity by any party since the initial filing of the complaint. This strongly suggests that 

Plaintiff has not yet served Defendants with process. Plaintiff is warned that the summons and 

complaint must be served by August 15, 2015, the expiration of the 120-day period for service of 

process. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). 

Accordingly, Plaintiff is HEREBY ORDERED to SHOW CAUSE why he should not be 

sanctioned for his failure to appear at the Court-ordered status conference. Plaintiff shall respond 

to this Order to Show Cause by filing a written explanation for his failure to appear by July 30,
