FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS / 14 Plaintiffs are proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with this action. On March 15 16 30, 2010, the court ordered the United States Marshal to serve the complaint on two defendants. 17 Service has been effected on defendant Wilbert Thompson, though this defendant has not filed a 18 responsive pleading to date. The Marshal was unable to effect service on defendant Bank of 19 America Home Loans because the name provided on the summons was incorrect. 20 By an order filed October 15, 2010, this court ordered plaintiffs to complete and 21 return to the court, within twenty days, the USM-285 forms which are required to effect service 22 on defendant Bank of America Home Loans. That twenty day period has since passed, and 23 plaintiffs have not responded in any way to the court’s order. Additionally, the court notes that 24 this action was filed on January 19, 2010. Thus, the time for service has passed. See Fed. R. 25 Civ. P. 4(m). 26 ///// 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 2 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). 3 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District 4 Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l).

The 9 parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to 10 appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v.
