UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff filed this civil action on March 1, 2023. Plaintiff is responsible for timely service of a summons and copy of the complaint, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c), and, unless service is waived, plaintiff must file proof of service with the court, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(l). It does not appear from the record that service has been effected. “If a defendant is not served within 90 days after the complaint is filed, the court—on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff—must dismiss the action without prejudice against that defendant or order that service be made within a specified time.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).

The 90-day period will end on May 30, 2023. Accordingly, on or before that date, Plaintiff shall show cause why this case should not be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) and Local Civil Rule 83.23 for failure to prosecute. Plaintiff may avoid dismissal of this action either by serving Defendant no later than May 30, 2023, or by seeking additional time under Rule 4(m).

Dated: May 15, 2023
