Plaintiff, 
v. 
 
LORI CHAVEZ-DEREMER, et al., 
Defendants. 
 

 
ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO 
SHOW CAUSE WHY COMPLAINT 
SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED 
 
 
 
 
On April 13, 2026, the Court, pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil 
Procedure, “afforded plaintiff a limited extension of time to serve the named defendants” 
and directed plaintiff to “serve defendants with summons and the First Amended 
Complaint no later than May 28, 2026.” (See Doc. No. 22 at 3:26-4:2.) To date, plaintiff 
has not filed proof of service of the summons and complaint as to any of the defendants. 
Accordingly, plaintiff is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing and no 
later than June 22, 2026, why plaintiff’s complaint should not be dismissed for failure to 
serve within the time required by Rule 4(m) and for failure to prosecute pursuant to Rule 
41(b). 
IT IS SO ORDERED.
