ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE

FAILURE TO SERVE 

On February 24, 2006, Plaintiff Sandra V. Moore ("Plaintiff") filed a complaint against

Defendants Astrazeneca Pharmaceuticals, L.P., Astrazeneca, L.P., and Eli Lilly and Company

("Defendants"). On June 27, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Case Management Conference Statement requesting

the Court to continue the Case Management Conference, currently scheduled for July 5, 2006 at 3:15

p.m., for approximately120 days, because Plaintiff had not yet served Defendants. Pursuant to Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), Plaintiff was required to serve Defendants within 120 days of the filing

of the complaint, that is by June 26, 2006. As of the date of this order, Plaintiff has not served

Defendants. Plaintiff has not shown good cause for her failure to serve. If service of the summons and

complaint is not made upon Defendants within 120 days, the Court may dismiss the case without

prejudice after providing notice to Plaintiff. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). 

Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

(1) Plaintiff and/or Plaintiff's counsel of record shall appear in Courtroom 3 of the United

States Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, on July 5, 2006, at 4:00 p.m.

to show cause why the above-captioned case should not be dismissed without prejudice

for failure to serve the complaint on Defendants.

(2) No later than Monday, July 3, 2006, Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s counsel of record must file

a Certificate of Counsel with the Clerk of the Court, to explain why the case should or

should not be dismissed for failure to serve. 

(3) Please take notice that this Order requires both the specified court appearance and the

filing of the Certificate of Counsel. FAILURE TO FULLY COMPLY WITH THIS

ORDER WILL BE DEEMED SUFFICIENT GROUNDS TO DISMISS THE ACTION.

July 5, 2006 at 3:15 p.m., is VACATED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
