No. CIV S-09-1749 JAM CKD P

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
/
16
Plaintiff is a California prisoner proceeding with counsel with an action for
17
violation of civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed his amended complaint on
18
October 15, 2010. On November 22, 2010, the court screened plaintiff’s amended complaint
19
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and determined that service of process is appropriate for all
20
defendants. To date, neither defendant Walker nor Kaplan have been served with process.
21
Because more than 120 days have elapsed since service of process was approved, and plaintiff
22
has not shown good cause as to why neither defendant Walker nor defendant Kaplan have been
23
served, the court will order that plaintiff show cause why those defendants should not be
24
dismissed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff show cause within
2
fourteen days why defendants Walker and Kaplan should not be dismissed. Plaintiff’s failure to
3
show cause will result in a recommendation that defendants Walker and Kaplan be dismissed.
